Great Britain's Kian Emadi has revealed that participating at next year's World Cycling Championships is a "big target" for him.

The 22-year-old has been sidelined since September with a back injury, which has prevented him from competing at the National and European Track Championships, as well as the World Cup in Mexico.

However, the Commonwealth Games silver medallist has expressed his determination to feature at cycling's next big event in February.

"Stuff can go really well and you feel great or you can have a little bit of a setback so it's hard to put a date on stuff," he told Team GB's official website.

"The Worlds is the big target and if I can get some good work done before then I'll see what happens. I'm training, it's a little bit modified to take care of the niggle but it's going well."

Emadi is a three-time British National Track champion.
