Every world title in every discipline of cycling is up for grabs in Glasgow this week and next, as part of an 11-day UCI cycling world championships.

New Zealand has 80 riders and 35 staff attending the World Champs, and they've made a good start.

Of the five medals won on the track to date, Ellesse Andrews' gold in the Keirin is the highlight, and the prospects are good in the cross-country mountain biking, the elite BMX, and in the time trial.

Cycling New Zealand high performance director Ryan Hollows spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
