24/07/2012 WHYS 30: Olympic Cyclists from Manchester Velodrome

World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

The conversation today is from the Manchester velodrome, the British Cycling Centre that is home to Bradley Wiggins' Team Sky, who have just dominated the Tour de France. We talk to a man who raced with Wiggins, Jonny Clay, and Paralympic Team GB cyclists, Mark Colbourne and Jody Cundy. Cycling hasn't always enjoyed big popularity in the UK - so can sporting success change a country's attitude towards a sport?
