The World Para-Cycling Championships are underway in Mexico and Sarah Storey has won Team GB’s first medal, getting Bronze in the C5 500m time trial. Storey only returned to the sport in December following the birth of her daughter Louisa last June. As ever there are high hopes for the Team GB cyclists, an 11 strong team which features tandem cycling pairing of Sophie Thornhill and pilot Rachel James making their major international debut and Jody Cundy who will be hoping to put behind him the false start nightmare he had in London 2012.
We are also looking forward to see Jon-Allan Butterworth perform in Mexico. Jon-Allan has been working with the RTSIC in the development of a handlebar attachment to help him achieve a powerful standing start. Work continues on this project and we hope to see it in use for future events such as Rio 2016.
