The cyclists to ride for New Zealand in the first round of the teams pursuit (on Friday night New Zealand time) at the 2007 Track Cycling World Championships in Spain are Pete Latham, Marc Ryan, Westley Gough and Sam Bewley. The reserves will be Jesse Sergent and Tim Gudsell.
According to coach Terry Gyde "This has been a difficult decision as we have had five riders who have pushed each other and pushed the times quicker and quicker".
Jesse Sergent will race the Omnium on day one on Thursday, a new "event" that is decided over the space of one day whereby an athletes cumulative total of ranks obtained in each of five events is calculated, and the lowest rankings wins. The events are the 3000 metre individual pursuit, the points race, scratch race and a 200 metre and 1000 metre time trial.
