Chris Hoy & Victoria Pendleton miss Beijing World Cup


Olympic champions Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton will miss the World Cup event in Beijing to focus on the final leg of the series in Manchester.

Despite Olympic qualification points being available at the 21-23 January event, none of the 2008 Beijing Games medallists will return to China.

GB Olympic Performance Academy riders mainly make up the 11-strong squad.

In addition, Commonwealth Games silver winner Becky James and world medallist Lizzie Armitstead will compete for GB.

Armitstead is set to ride in the women's omnium, with James, sprint medallist in Delhi, taking part in the women's sprint events.
