Rio Olympics

I saw Wiggins and the rest of the GB team, in the Team Pursuit at the World Track Cycling Championships at the Olympic Velodrome this year. It's frightening how fast they ride when you see it close up.

Manchester Veledrome is still the National Cycling Centre and apparently still one of the best tracks around, so I assume they are still there, don't know for certain though.

I watched a documentary on sky before the olympics started about the team persuit team (Wiggins) and all 7 of them were based in Manchester. They then narrowed the team down to 4 which is the ones at the olympics.
