Australia's world and Olympic champion Anna Meares will headline the galaxy of stars on show during the second round of the UCI Track World Cup at Melbourne's Hisense Arena over the next three days.
Meares will compete in the women’s sprint, team sprint, 500m time trial and keirin in Melbourne.
"It’s a really good feeling (to be here), lots of energy, lots of excitement but a little bit of nerves in there as well," the 26-year-old said.
"A home World Cup is always very important, there are only four legs of this World Cup in the world each year and we are very fortunate to have one in Australia and particular here in Melbourne where the crowd really do come and support the Australian cyclists.
"I have nothing but good feelings on this track and I love coming here."
The Melbourne round of the UCI Track World Cup will be held November 19-21.
