Track Cycling World Championships in Minsk.
Last Updated: 24/02/13 3:37pm
The 2013 UCI Track Cycling World Championships will be fought out over five days of what promises to be compelling racing in the Belarusian capital.
Medals are not the only thing on the participating nations' minds, though, with many countries having named youthful squads as they look to blood their next generation of stars.
Great Britain are no different to that trend, with six debutantes selected in what Sir Dave Brailsford has hailed as a "changing of the guard".
Here is a day-by-day guide to the championships and where Britain's medals may come from.
