With the countdown already in full swing for the opening round of the 2010 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, we managed to capture a few passing shots of British riders Lily Matthews, Dave Fletcher and Annie Last, who were making their final preparations under the watchful eye of Olympic Programme Coach Phil Dixon.

Both Dixon and the riders seemed in relaxed and confident mood, eager for the season to get underway and enjoying the opportunity to film with Sky following a morning of laps on the course.
