AUSTRALIA’S stunning Commonwealth Games track cycling success bodes well for Olympic redemption in Tokyo, Anna Meares believes.

Aussie great Meares said the emphatic response offered real reason for optimism about their Tokyo 2020 chances.

“It’s a great sign,” Meares said. “We have an incredible group of athletes and I’m really excited for where they can go.” highperformance Simon
