London is ready for a doubleheader to conclude the 2022 International Cycling Union (UCI) Track Champions League season, the second being the Grand Finale which will crown the best in the velodrome at the Lee Valley VeloPark.

Britain's Katie Archibald will be looking to end the year on a high, having missed the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games after being hit by a car, which caused a serious injury.

The Scot does return to Lee Valley - where the track cycling took place at the Games - and is the cyclist in form, having won three of her four previous UCI Track Champions League races.

She won both the scratch and elimination races in Berlin in round two, followed by an elimination victory in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.

A second-place finish in the scratch race in France and a win in the opening scratch race of the series in Mallorca have her on 97 points in the endurance standings prior to the London races.

However, she is one point behind leader Jennifer Valente of the United States, who has six podiums from six races so far - crucially scoring in every race so far.

Archibald did not score in the elimination race in Mallorca.

Canada's Maggie Coles-Lyster and American Lily Williams are tied on 62 points, followed by Mallorca elimination race winner Anita Stenberg of Norway and Britain's Sophie Lewis, the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines scratch winner on 57 and 55 points.

Claudio Imhof leads the men's endurance table with 80 points, six in front of Canada's Mathias Guillemette and nine ahead of Sebastian Mora Vedri of Spain.

Imhof has not won a race so far this year but has three podiums, including two silvers in the scratch, while Guillemette won the elimination in Mallorca.

Mora Vedri won the scratch in France, while Britain's Mark Stewart - fourth in the rankings - won the scratch in Mallorca and sits on a total of 60 alongside compatriot Oliver Wood.

Wood has two wins to his name, claiming gold in Berlin in the scratch and the elimination in France.

Harrie Lavreysen of The Netherlands and Australian Matthew Richardson are the two clear contenders to win the men's sprint title, having won all six races between them.

Lavreysen has a two-point lead over Richardson with a total of 111.

German Stefan Bötticher is a clear third with 86 points - 34 ahead of the next riders - and has an outside chance of winning the sprint crown.

Mathilde Gros from France has three wins to her name in the women's sprint standings too, holding a lead of nine over Martha Bayona of Colombia, on 83 points.

Bayona sits one in front of Canadian Kelsey Mitchell, with Dutch rider Shanne Braspennincx on 69, still very much in contention.

Competition is due to end on Saturday (December 3).
