USA Cycling has named a seven-rider team for the first round of the 2005-6 Track World Cup series, which takes place in Moscow, Russia, November 4-6.
The trip will be the first international outing for USA Cycling's new head track coach, Australian Gary West and the team are reported to be excited at the prospect of being guided by West. A 1984 Olympian, West coached the Australian sprint squad that earned a silver medal at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta and captured four medals at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. He then spent four years as head track coach and technical director of the Japanese Cycling Federation, before joining USA Cycling in March of this year.
