Next weekend, it's the nationals, where Becky, I'm afraid, has to suck VP's wheel, for the first time, in earnest.
Following weekend is her first outing in the World Cup, which, is on the BBC.
Red button, days 1 and 2, live on the Sunday.
Sprint and team sprint. JV on leg 1, Becks on leg 2.

Disasterous day, yesterday. typical teenager.
Got to Manchester and found out that she'd left all her kit at home.
luckily, she had her racing licence.

Someoene was going to have to catch the 4pm train up, until Vicky P came up trumps and loaned her some kit.
By now, she was not wanting to ride.

Then, she repeats her world's, by getting stuck in the start gate.

Jess Varnish's time, though, was excellent. Shows her progress at the academy.

200m QFs just in.
Becky qualified second fastest, behind Vicky P, of course, who is flying. (10.9)

[Bartali]

Fingers crossed Huw.  I'm expecting great things from Becky!

[kathy]

Well done, Becky!  Second in the qualifiers behind Vicky can't be bad.  And nice of Vicky to lend her some gear.

[HuwB]

"Mum", with the girls......


I think Becky's a little off her game.
Jess Varnish only 4 hundredths slower in qualifying and a tenth or so down on what I'd expected.
As for 36"+ for the 500, well, she said it herself, a bad day.

Hope she's saving something for next week.

Great pic of Becky in the Sunday Times today and good coverage of her in the article.

[Nolte]

huw, has she ventured onto the road or is her solely focussed on the track?

[last km]

Is she based up in Madchestoh now Huw? .....and what does she do when not competing / training ? is she at college ?

[HuwB]

Not until June. She wanted to go, this year, but the coaches said "A" levels first. So, still at school.
Currently, on holiday in Gran Canaria, with my sister.
I dropped enough hints, but she wouldn't take me!

[HuwB]

Just to say, Becky turn's 18 tomorrow.
Managed to "prange" her dad's little "runaround", this morning!

[kathy]

Happy birthday tomorrow to Becky!  Don't get too drunk

[Bartali]

HB Becky!

[mr shifter]

And Ralph is now 18, so Happy Birthday to both.

Me..... I had to wait until I was 21 to be called mister.

Good gawd, they were born in 1991. (like yesterday)

[kathy]

Happy Birthday, Ralph!  Whenever it was - you didn't tell us, did you?

[Ralphnorman]

6th of September, dont think i said, too busy packing   HB Becky  

[bianchigirl]

How's it going Ralph? Happy (very belated) birthday

And hope Becky had a good one too

[billgull]

Happy Birthday, Becky!

And, Happy Belated Birthday, Ralph!

[MAILLOT JAUNE]

Yeah Happy Birthday Becky - have a good one and don't feel too guilty about your prang.

And "belations" (I've invented a new word to say belated Happy Birthday - just hope it doesn't mean anything dodgey...) Ralph

[Ralphnorman]

Thanks   It's going well, although if your ever in Dundee, be very careful. The amount of oil and diesel on the roads is appalling.

[bianchigirl]

Latest results? Have you been getting out much with the weather??

[Ralphnorman]

No results at all, not been racing up here. And I've not been out at all, been using the turbo at very odd times of night    

[bianchigirl]

Not been out!!!! Ralph, you're only a student once - now get down to that student uni bar with the cheap beer and have fun

[Ralphnorman]

When I said not been out, I meant I've not been out cycling   I've been going out quite a few nights to various parties and events     10 weeks and still sober
