Great Britain's track cyclists have made a strong start in the final round of the UCI Track World Cup in Hong Kong, with both the women's team pursuit and men's team sprint line-ups qualifying fastest.
The likely 2016 Olympic Games quartet of Laura Trott, Elinor Barker, Ciara Horne and Joanna Rowsell-Shand put in a blistering performance to qualify fastest in the women's team pursuit by over four seconds. Their time of 4-19.369 was comfortably ahead of second-placed USA (4-23.696).
