Sad to see him go, he's been a good servant but probably the right decision

Staff is a legend of BMX and track, hopefully he can retire happily despite the back problem that caused it.

absolute legend, gutted as it means our chance in London 2012 has just gone down. Granted we have a talented squad but he will certainly be missed. Watching him start the team spint was amazing, Hoy and co could barely keep up!

Who?

Amazing though it seems, there were other gold medal winners in Beijing alongside Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton…

Jamie Staff, World and Olympic Champion

according to the paper today he produces more torque than an F1 car for a brief moment in the sprint!

Fair play to the fella. Not many pro cyclists still going at that ripe old age. Make way for new blood for the Olympics.

Despite him doing so well on the track I'll always remember him as a BMXer. there are many good riders in the British team but I'm surprissed as he was more than up to the challenge.

Never heard of him before. Enjoy the slippers and pipe.

Awesome rider. Often underrated/overshadowed in BMX (by Dale Holmes) and track (by Chris Hoy), but a mega talented rider with the medals and titles to back it up.

His nickname in BMX was The Powerhouse. Anyone who has seen the size of his legs and the power/speed they generate will know why!

You mean these – frikkin' huge

Not quite in the same league as Robert Forsterman though:

Bet Staff is quicker though 😉

"Staff was responsible for the fastest ever first lap in a team sprint"

Staff is faster for sure, if you watched the worlds Forsterman knocked out Hoy though by jumping him from the start with a mighty push from his starter…

Bloody hell, that's like a doner kebab mass! 😯

trouser shopping must be a nightmare.

Bit of off the bike training for you

Anyone know how much he is doing?

255kg?

Why would you Google someone youv'e never heard of?

Looks like Mike Modano could be retiring, he's 40 soon! Google it.

I was doing a job taking pictures of Jamie earlier today, genuinely nice bloke. His thighs are huge.
