Nick Kergozou, Tom Sexton, and Marshall Erwood – who all hail from Invercargill – have been included in the 19-strong cycling contingent to contest track cycling events at the Commonwealth Games, which will run from July 23 to August 2.<\/p>\n

The Southland trio are part of a group of New Zealand men\u2019s endurance riders that also includes Keegan Hornblow, George Jackson and Daniel Morton.<\/p>\n

The Scottish sporting city and aptly named Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome has been a happy hunting ground for Kiwi track cyclists who earned 11 medals at the 2014 edition of the Commonwealth Games.<\/p>\n

It was also home to New Zealand\u2019s most successful UCI Track World Championships three years ago when kiwi track riders amassed a record eight medals.<\/p>\n
