GB Disability Worlds Team Announced

 

News Posted: 17 July 2007

 

The GB Team for the 2007 Para-Cycling World Championships has been selected. The event is to take place in Bordeaux, France between the 19th and 27th August 2007.

Jody Cundy, Darren Kenny and Rik Waddon - key members of the team

The results from these World Championships will be a major component of the qualifying process for the Beijing Paralympics. Points scored here will be added to the points accumulated in Athens 2004 Paralympic Games to give a Nation ranking and ultimately an athlete quota for Beijing 2008.

In the 2006 World Championships in Aigle, Switzerland, Great Britain finished with 9 Gold medals and were ranked No. 1 Nation in the track competitions and No. 2 Nation overall after the addition of the road race and Time Trial results.

This is the biggest squad the Great Britain Disability Cycling programme has ever taken to a major championships and will be supported by three mechanics, two physiotherapists, three coaches and a performance analyst.
