Brailsford explained: “The dilemma is that if you select now the riders know what they are doing and can train a little bit more specifically. The downside is that in 16 weeks anyone’s form might not be the same.
“That is the conundrum – late for form, but early for clarity of purpose.”
Britain won five golds in the Olympic events in Melbourne – half of those on offer – and Brailsford believes his team are on course for a successful performance in August.
“We’ve got more to come,” he added, describing the haul of seven out of 10 Olympic titles on offer in Beijing in 2008 as a “quirk”.
“There’s no reason why we can’t step up again, but then again everybody else is going to improve.
“Form’s going to decide what happens at the Olympics now.”
