Jody Cundy, age 48, is set to compete at the Para-cycling Track World Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. He has remained unbeaten in the kilo event since 2006, and a win would mark his 20th consecutive year in the rainbow jersey. Cundy acknowledges the challenge from younger competitors, including 22-year-old Archie Atkinson. Cundy has previously won multiple Paralympic gold medals and is determined to maintain his competitive edge, despite recognizing the difficulties posed by a new generation of athletes. The championships begin Thursday, and this year marks the first UCI track event for Great Britain since last year's Worlds in Brazil.
