“I’m really excited to be back racing, it was the right time to come back," said Kenny, who wed fellow GB track racer and six-time Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny in September.

"I’ve taken some deserved time off after Rio, the year leading up to the Olympics was very full on, training at every chance possible to be at my best, thankfully it was all worth it.

"I’m looking forward to getting back on my bike and enjoying racing after the pressure of Rio. I know the others won’t make it an easy race back for me, but it’ll be great fun and even better it will be in front of a home crowd."
