xc racing season starts with a win for GB team
Date Posted: 10.29hrs on Thu 19 Nov 09
The season started for the GB team (most but not all from the Huntly area) last weekend. Some good results with a win in the juniors for Fi.

There are a couple of articles on the results here:

and here:

There was also a piece on the BBC website (and on Sport Monthly last night) of the squad training at Huntly see:

Very encouraging. Positive comments about the strength of such a young team. - A good showing in the Olympics in Feb would be such a boost.

Most of the team is still under 20, so a good showing at the olympics this year would still be well down the field. If they can keep competing (and improving) until 2014, thats when we should be pushing up towards the top (funding as always will be a problem).

The main aim this year will be a good showing at the world juniors. We got a top ten finish last season. I reckon a few more top tens would be good and a podium excellent. The World Juniors are just before the olympics at the end of January.

You want to borrow some of the money that's been poured into the Cycling squad. They're success has been fantastic, but it was well-funded & backed with a superb coaching team.
