<p>The CFI picked a trimmed nine men and six women team for the Nov 12-27 event compared to the 27 cyclists it fielded in the recently concluded Commonwealth Games. The Indian cyclists failed to win a medal at the Delhi Games and will have an opportunity to redeem themselves as the competition will not be of the level of the Delhi Games.<br /><br />O. Bikram Singh, the bronze medallist at the 2010 Asian Cup earlier this year, will be India's best bet for a medal in the men's event while Mahita Mohan is expected to spring a surprise in the women's category. <br /><br />CFI assistant secreatry V.N Singh said the team has a realistic chance of winning a medal each in both the categories.<br /><br />"We will not have to compete with mighty strong teams like Australia and England there. Bikram won a medal in Japan and there is no reason why he cannot replicate the medal-winning performance. Mahita and veteran Rameshwari Devi have a good chance of a podium finish in the women's event," Singh told IANS.<br /><br />The training camp for the cyclists is scheduled in New Delhi from Oct 27.<br /><br />The squad:<br />Men: O Bikram Singh, Dayala Ram Saran, Satbir Singh, Sombir, Vinod Malik, Atul Kumar, Amrit Singh, Prince HS Hylen and Rajender Bishoni.<br /><br />Women: Ch.
