"My top three pick themselves. I need to go to Warsaw with the strongest team possible. I'm looking at Warsaw and your brain starts turning and churning away. I need to take the strongest team I can. There's not going to be one easy race in Warsaw." Great Britain manager Olly Allen looks ahead to the World Cup Final after the Lions cruised through the Landshut semi-final in style.
WHOA-RYNA!
"It took me a while to get here but I remember 2022 and the performance I had as a wild card in Torun. I felt like I really belonged here then. I know not many people put my name on the list. But I knew I could put it there myself, and that's what I did in Landshut." Poland's Kacper Woryna emerged from the shadows to pull off a stunning victory in the opening SGP round of the season.
MULFORD'S TARGET
"It sounds silly but in the pits I try to tell myself that I don't really care what happens, just to try not to have the pressure. But in the back of your mind, you always know what you're really doing. Then, once you are on the bike, you're never actually nervous, so you change that attitude again, especially once the helmet goes on." Britain's Jake Mulford heads to Holland bidding to regain his World U23 longtrack title.
