Breaking News: British Mountain Bike Place At Rio Announced

In a further twist to the tale of the selection of British riders for Rio, a last minute addition to the British squad has been announced, and (hurrah!) it’s a mountain biker. Grant Ferguson has been confirmed as the final rider on the British team as a result of an appeals process. It’s apparent from the British Cycling press release that there were two other riders in the appeal process who weren’t successful – but whether they were from a different discipline we don’t know.

We’ll do some digging and let you know if we find out more, but for now let’s be glad that we’ll have at least one British rider to cheer for on the mountain bike course in Rio.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
