Teams and Champions

You speak Welsh, right?

So you’ll enjoy this report form S4C on the Bike Park Wales round of the British Downhill series, focussing, inevitably, on Manon Carpenter, the local girl who arrived to race fresh off a World Championship win.


To be perfectly honest I just wanted to watch to remind myself of a great day riding there.

Meanwhile we can begin the build up to the Road and TT World Championships with the naming of the British squad. Led by Froome, the team will have a solid road captain in the shape of Dave Millar, racing for the last time in GB kit, and however way you look at it a great depth in a squad of Thomas, Kennaugh, Swift, Simon and Adam Yates, and Rowe. Wiggins and Dowsett will race the TT and all of the riders willhavethe pressure of performing better than last year’s awful showing where none finished the World Championship race in torrential rain.

The women’s squad is just as strong, with Armitstead leading a team including Alice Barnes, Hannah Barnes, Anna Christian, Lucy Garner, and mountain biker Annie Last.
