His selection comes on the back of a second place at the Six Days of Bremen where he was partnered by Jesper Morkov. Looking back at the tournament Morgan said: “It was my first time at the Six Days of Bremen. The organisation was very good and the atmosphere was brilliant. The racing was very quick and there was a fight for the whole six days. I really enjoyed it!”

Morgan and Jesper narrowly missed out on the win to Marcel Kalz and Alex Rasmussen but the 27­year­old Frenchman said he feels in good shape for the Worlds. Morgan said: “After Christmas and the New Year I didn’t know how I was going to feel on the bike but I knew I was training well. After the first day of racing at Bremen, I was happy because I felt very good on the bike”.

“I feel like I am in a good place physically with less than a month to the World Championships.”

Team Principal of Team Raleigh GAC, Cherie Pridham, said: “Morgan has worked very hard for his place at the Worlds and we are delighted that he has achieved selection. As a former champion in both the Scratch and the Madison, what better way to bid for his 3rd title in Paris!”
