Cycling-British Academy announce 2010-11 Plympic Academy programme intake
British Cycling has today announced their selection of 25 riders for the 2010-2011 Olympic Academy Programme, which will begin on the 1 November 2010.
Performance Manager Shane Sutton said: "Our under-23 squad continues to strengthen and this year Alex Dowsett and Lucy Martin have both been signed up to professional road teams for next season. We've also got an interesting situation on the Women's Endurance programme with all the girls now being focussed on the Endurance track events rather than the road. The three Academy girls will be coached by Paul Manning, with Simon Cope becoming more involved in the training programmes for our Women's Podium Endurance athletes and also working closely with the ODP female endurance riders in bringing them up to the high standard of performance that the Academy requires."
Women's Endurance - Track:
Katie Colclough Hannah Mayho Laura Trott

David Fletcher Kenta Gallagher Steve James Annie Last Lily Mathews

Philip, whose father is British, came second in the Team Sprint and fourth in the Sprint at this year's Junior World Track Championships and has shown real talent in acceleration on the first lap.
