World governing body the UCI has already generated plenty of spirited debate with the plan to change the events.

Instead of seven men's events and three for the women, the London Olympics will probably feature five each.

Cycling Australia national performance director Shayne Bannan expects the UCI to confirm the changes on December14.

''It's fantastic for sprint cycling and it's fantastic for women's cycling so there are real positives,'' Bannan said.

''But I'm not in [agreement] with taking events out ... the individual pursuit, in particular, is a traditional Olympic Games event.''

CA will use the Melbourne round of the World Cup track series, which starts tomorrow, to pitch its own idea to other countries.

The five-race omnium event is set to join the Olympic schedule and CA wants the men's version to become more endurance-based, rather than have any emphasis on sprinting.

That is because the overhaul will cut the men's individual pursuit, madison and points race all endurance events and add the omnium.

''That's certainly the recommendation we'll put forward,'' Bannan said.

The women would lose the individual pursuit and points race, but gain the teams pursuit, omnium, team sprint and keirin.

The changes will be a mixed blessing for Australia Cameron Meyer is world points race champion and Jack Bobridge won a silver medal at this year's world titles in the individual pursuit, while Meyer and Leigh Howard were second in the madison.

But Howard and Josephine Tomic are omnium world champions and Anna Meares and Kaarle McCulloch won the team sprint. AAP
