STEVEN Burke is among the star names headlining the British challenge as the UCI Track World Cup kicks off this weekend.

The East Lancashire star, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, is joined by Jason and Laura Kenny and Ed Clancy.

The quartet provide plenty of experience for the opening round in France this weekend and round two in Canada next week.

Burke, from Colne, will ride both meetings while the Kenny's will hit the boards in North America.
