Am I dreaming?

The BBC actually showing live cycling.. Great coverage
with races shown in full and good interviews before and
afterwards.

Good to see Victoria Pendleton making sprinting look
easy.. And as for the kilometer.. With GB having 4 of
the fastest in the world we are somewhat spoilt for
choice in Athens.

Where? All I can see is tennis.

Britain's talented team will receive a stern test of their
Olympic credentials just five months ahead of the Athens
Games. Star performers such as Chris Hoy and Craig McLean
will be in action during the three-day event, on a lightning-
fast 250-metre wooden track which has produced five world

Jill Douglas brings all the latest news and action
from the final day of the Manchester round of the
Track Cycling World Cup.

Another team with high hopes of success at the Athens
Olympics, the British cyclists will be taking on the
cream of the world's competitors on the 250m wooden
track at the National Cycling Centre.

The final session is set to include the thrills and
spills of the team sprint, which should feature home
favourite Chris Hoy. Olympic gold medallist Jason
Queally joins Hugh Porter in the commentary box.

Followed by a feature on the remarkable South African
swimmer, Natalie du Toit, who made a successful return
to competition despite losing a leg in a car accident,
and this summer is hoping to make history by competing
in the Olympics and Paralympics."

It was on today, 13.05 - 14.25, although it was late
starting. The usual drugs and cycling was discussed within
the first few minutes - do the BBC mention drugs quite so
often in relation to any other sport??? The female presenter
described a derny as a motorcycle. But other than that, it
was good to see cycling on BBC1 on a Saturday afternoon.
Victoria Pendleton cycled quite brilliantly. There's more
cycling tomorrow afternoon too, on BBC 2, between
14.00 & 15.30

Makes a pleasant change.

Cheers, helen s

Thanks for the heads up Helen.

I can't believe I missed today's broadcast though. :-(
