Just seen this on the BBC, Alain Baxter is aiming to compete in Track Cycling in the 2012 Olympics. He was pretty handy on the bike in Superstars, so this could be a great switch. Has anyone won medals in bothe Winter [b][i]and[/i][/b] summer olympics (I still insist he won that bronze!)?

Imagine bumping into him at the next taster session at the velodrome!

Fantastic. That bronze is his as far as I'm concerned. My mate wrote his biography a few years ago, top guy and one of my heros. Totally did it despite the system. That would be fantastic if he competed in track, I'd love to see that.

He mountain bikes a lot too.

Waves to donald. I don't have a computer at work, otherwise I'd have shown my appreciation sooner.

Can't wait to see him in action.

Great looking, fab. body and a great personality. Go Alain go.
