Paralympic gold medallists Dame Sarah Storey and Jody Cundy are among the 21 riders named in the Great Britain squad for March's UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships.
Qualification points for the Paralympic Games are on offer in Italy, in what is the last major track event before Rio.
Britain's Para-cycling head coach Jon Norfolk said: "It's a large squad that travels with a number of riders competing in a range of events as we look to secure the maximum amount of places we can for the Paralympic Games.
"There are also some new faces in the squad, like Kadeena Cox and James Ball, who will be competing at this level for the first time in their careers. It will be great to see how they fare against the world's best riders."
The World Championships run between March 17-20 in Monticiari.
