Cycling: Quartet on the up Down Under
CAPITAL cycling trio Evan Oliphant, James McCallum and Kate Cullen plus young Fifer Eileen Roe will line up at the Perth International Grand Prix in Australia tomorrow, writes COLIN RENTON.
The quartet have escaped the Scottish weather and lack of facilities to focus on their build-up to next year's Commonwealth Games in India and will face riders from Holland, the United States, Switzerland, China, Malaysia and South Africa, as well as many of the host country's leading riders, including points race world champion Cameron Meyer (Garmin-Slipstream) and experienced pro Graeme Brown (Rabobank).
It will be equally tough for the female riders, whose opponents include Australian world champion Josie Tomic, Belinda Goss, a bronze medallist at the last two World Championships, and Dutch star Ellen van Dijk.
