First glimpse of riders trying out the new track here

Impressive huh? Okay, there's a bit of final spit 'n' polish but it makes you proud to be British doesn't it.

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.

Err, where's the BMX track then? That looked remarkably like a few temporary ramps with a novice wobbling around and only one decent trick rider. If a temporary ramp is all we can put up for a track then we'll look remarkably amateur as a nation.

On a slightly different Olympic vibe I heard on the news today that the IoC are going to scrap the Olympic Torch relay after 2016. So that'll be for the 2020 Olympics in 12 years time - on security grounds. And I thought the world of protest, espionage, terrorism and security must be fast paced. Obviously not if they need a 12 year run up.

Shame too cos the torch relay was my favourite event at the last Olympics - we won that didn't we?  39
