Kiwi Cycling Programme at Commonwealth Games
23 July 2014, 2:21PM
The Glasgow 2014 Cycling programme will showcase the disciplines of Mountain Bike, Road and Track, including four Para-Sport events. It promises an adrenaline-packed mix of speed, endurance and tactics.
TRACK
New Zealand is unlikely to have an easy roll to Commonwealth Games team sprint gold at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
The New Zealand sprint squad completed an 11-week training phase at their new Cambridge base before departing for a month in the United States cycling mecca of Trexlertown in Pennsylvania. They then moved on to New Zealand's traditional pre-event training base in the French port city of Bordeaux, where they joined the rest of the BikeNZ squad for the first time since the buildup to the London Olympics.
