Sam Dakin has been selected in the men's sprint team for next year's Olympics, replacing the retired Eddie Dawkins.

Alongside Ethan Mitchell and Sam Webster, Dawkins won world championship gold, and silver at Rio 2016.

Dakin says Dawkins was and still is a mentor, but now's his time.

15 cyclists have been named in the track cycling squad for Tokyo 2021.
