Graham Briggs will also be taking part in a Q&A session on the main stage with Eurosport commentator David Harmon at 12.45pm each day.

Raleigh’s Product Manager, Terry Blackwood said, “It’s no easy task to improve on 125 years of history and heritage but our motto this year has been ‘Because it's a Raleigh’. We are taking Raleigh back to where it belongs with innovative and reliable products that perform day in, day out.
“Early indications tell us we've got that 'wow factor' back so we're looking forward to getting these bikes in front of people at the NEC.”
On the performance side of things, the Miltis is the centrepiece road bike, built around an 800g frame - which is light by any standards. There are three other carbon bikes in the range including the SP Race, pictured above, whch is aimed at sportive riders and aspiring racers. The entry level carbon road bike is the SP Elite. With a Shimano Sora groupset, it retails at £1,100.
The Raleigh range covers endurance road bikes like the Revenio and women's Capri, and classic road bikes like the Gran Sport (above), plus mountain bikes, lifestyle bikes, kids' bikes, electric bikes... you name it.
