<\/a><\/p>Just this past March, the Kiwis won gold at the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships with the three-man team of Ethan Mitchell, Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins. This formidable trio has been tearing up major cycling tournaments of late, having also collectively won gold at the 2014 World Championships in Cali, Colombia and at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.<\/p>\nThere\u2019s only one mountain left to conquer for these three New Zealanders, and that\u2019s to ultimately prevail\u00a0in the Olympic Games. Mitchell and Dawkins were both part of New Zealand\u2019s 2012 Olympic cycling\u00a0squad which only finished fifth overall in the team sprint competition. Webster has proven to be a capable third man in this revamped lineup, so perhaps New Zealand will indeed mark the changing of the guards for this particular event on August 11.<\/p>\n
France (+375<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\nAs the annual host of the Tour de France, it is with good reason then that the French themselves are perennial favorites in nearly all cycling categories\u00a0at the Olympic Games. In fact, France has the most gold medals at the Olympics in men\u2019s cycling as a whole with 34 first-place finishes, and was also the first country to win gold at the men\u2019s team sprint event in Sydney (2000).<\/p>\n
Furthermore, France has had podium finishes in all four installments of the team sprint at the Olympics, which includes back-to-back runner-up finishes in 2008 and 2012.<\/p>\n
Gregory Bauge was a member of those 2008 and 2012 silver-medal squads, while Michael D\u2019Almeida was also part of the most recent Olympic edition in London. They\u2019ll be joined by Francois Pervis (winner of six gold medals in individual major cycling competitions since 2013), rounding out another stellar triad of sprinters ready to reclaim the top spot for a nation in great need of jubilation<\/a>.<\/p>\nSleeper<\/strong><\/h3>\n![\"Great](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Great-Britain-mens-track-team-sprint-2016-600x404.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Great Britain (+1,500<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\nJust how huge of a deal is the absence of six-time Olympic gold medal-winner Chris Hoy on the British national cycling team? Massive, apparently.<\/p>\n
The legendary Hoy was part of Great Britain\u2019s gold-winning team sprint lineup from 2008 and 2012, but will not partake in this year\u2019s installment of the event since he has officially retired from competitive cycling. His partner in crime during those two wins, Jason Kenny, will now be accompanied by Philip Hindes (the third member of the 2012 Olympic squad) and Callum Skinner.<\/p>\n
The Brits\u2019 new three-man team, though, has shown disappointing results. He most recently finished\u00a0a mere sixth at the 2016 Track Cycling World Championships. But with 20 men\u2019s cycling gold medals worth of winning experience at the Olympics under its belt, Great Britain could certainly turn out to be, well\u2026 great once more and ultimately pull off a stunning three-peat at this category.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Venezuela (+15,000<\/a><\/strong>)<\/h3>\nFor the second-consecutive edition of the Olympic Games, Venezuela will trot out three of the country\u2019s finest speedsters in Hersony Canelon, Cesar Marcano and Angel Pulgar for the team sprint event.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, this trio failed to qualify for the first round of actual competition in 2012 in London, having finished a dismal ninth place \u2013 only ahead of South Korea. Even individually, the Venezuelans have not been as successful of late, as Canelon and Marcano have not tasted gold in any major cycling tournament\u00a0since the 2013 Pan American Road and Track Championships in Mexico.<\/p>\n
To put things in greater perspective, Venezuela has won just a total of 12 medals at the Olympics since partaking in the festivities in 1948, and not a single one of them came from a cycling event. With that in mind, don\u2019t count on these South American cyclists\u00a0to really challenge the rest of the field in Rio.<\/p>\n
