 Sarah Bailey is among those going for gold in France |
Britain will bring their biggest ever disability cycling squad to next month's Para-Cycling World Championships in Bordeaux, France. Results at the championships will play a key role in qualification for the Beijing Paralympics.
Great Britain won 14 medals, including nine golds, at last year's World Championships in Switzerland.
The team for the championships, from 19-27 August, features a mix of newcomers and experienced campaigners.

Former swimmer Melanie Easter, who won gold in the pool in the Sydney Paralympic Games, will compete both on the track and in the road race events.
Track squad: Mark Bristow, Gary Williams, Jody Cundy, Simon Richardson, Darren Kenny, Rik Waddon, Anthony Kappes/Barney Storey, Sarah Bailey, Aileen McGlynn/Ellen Hunter, Melanie Easter/Rebecca Rimmington.
