Australia began the season in November in Guadalajara, Mexico, finishing on top of the medal tally with three gold through Matthew Glaetzer (sprint), Stephanie Morton and Kaarle McCulloch (team sprint) and the men's team pursuit, plus two silver and one bronze.

At the second round in London, Australia added gold through reigning points race world champion Amy Cure, and three silver medals in the women's team pursuit, women's team sprint and men's omnium.

The third round will see two-time world champion Shane Perkins (Victoria) lead some of world's most exciting young cycling talent. These include reigning junior world champions Stewart, Perry and Alexandra Manly (South Australia), who will be joined by Elissa Wundersitz (Western Australia) for the team pursuit.

Sam Welsford (WA), who was part of the "teenage pursuit team" in Guadalajara, returns for his second World Cup of the season.

He will be joined by London World Cup silver medallist Scott Law (New South Wales) and brother Jackson, who won the national madison title last week.

Tirian McManus (NSW) a dual Track World World Cup gold medallist earlier in 2014, and 2013 team pursuit junior world champion Joshua Harrison will also line up.

In the sprint events, rising stars Rikki Belder (SA), who recently won the keirin ahead of Anna Meares at the Austral carnival, and Caitlin Ward (VIC) have been named.

The 2013 team sprint junior world champion, Patrick Constable (SA), who finished second to Matthew Glaetzer in the sprint competition at the Austral, and former Junior World Championship silver medallist Emerson Harwood (VIC), will also compete.

"The Cali World Cup is an important opportunity for our developing athletes to gain crucial big-event exposure and to experience and manage the travel required of elite track athletes at the international level," Cycling Australia National Performance Director Kevin Tabotta said.

"Our 2015 World Championship and 2016 Rio qualification strategy is progressing well, with performances in the first two world cups, which allows the bulk of our worlds hopefuls to now knuckle down into some solid uninterrupted preparation - to be ready for Paris in February.

"However, Shane Perkins will be one rider in our elite squad who has targeted Cali as part of his progression to Paris. He will be looking to register performances in Cali reflective of some of the excellent numbers we are seeing on the training track."

The 2014-15 UCI Track World Cup series features more than 200 of the world's best track cyclists competing across three rounds for points towards the World Championships and Rio 2016 Olympic Games qualification.

Guadalajara hosted the first round of the series in November, with the third and final round to be held in Cali.

The next UCI Track Cycling World Championships will be held in Paris, France in February.
