Two current world champions will headline a powerful 16-strong track and road cycling team representing New Zealand at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Reigning sportsman of the year Aaron Gate is heading to his fourth Olympics and leading an endurance quartet with World Tour rider Campbell Stewart, Tom Sexton and Keegan Hornblow.
They are currently ranked second in the team pursuit and first in the two-rider Madison on the UCI Olympic rankings, while Gate is fourth in the omnium. The 33-year-old earned his world champion rainbow stripes in the points race, which is the core discipline in the multi-event Olympic omnium.
