Sir Dave Brailsford has backed out-of-form Olympic champion Jason Kenny to end his current winless run and return to the top of world sprinting.
Brailsford said qualifying is something Kenny needs to "get sorted out", while Sutton suggested technical tweaks may be the solution. He added: "I think he has still got that element of speed. We need to go away and get him up the gears and into the bike race because he is faster than anybody on his day and that is what is missing." Sutton also allayed fears that Kenny's poor showing could make it difficult for him to gather enough points to qualify for the sprint at the world championships in Colombia at the end of February. Kenny must finish in the top 30 of the World Cup rankings to qualify, but Sutton said: "I think he will be OK points-wise. What he has got in the bank, he should be OK."
