Team GB?s cyclists take to the track in Beijing on Sunday in optimistic mood as the Paralympics get underway.
The track squad go into the Games as top-ranked nation at the World Championships. The twelve-strong team are aiming for between six and eight gold medals from the thirteen events entered on road and track.
Beating the home nation in the overall medal table is a tall order ? China was the top nation in Athens ? but GB?s disabled cyclists, like their able-bodied colleagues ? are sure to weigh in with their fair share over the ten days of competition.
Cycling Weekly tells you who is riding what, when they are riding and when to park yourself on the sofa for BBC TV coverage.
