[Simon Morton @simonUKS]

In Tokyo, GB became first country to win gold in all Olympic Cycling disciplines. What better way to showcase that than by becoming first country to host all 13 World Cycling Championships together! Two years to go until @CyclingWorlds

[Haute-Savoie 2027 @hautesavoie2027]

Who's excited??

It's now 2 years to go until the world's biggest cycling event comes to Glasgow and Scotland

Whole Olympic movement owes huge debt of gratitude to Japan. The greatest challenge a host nation has ever faced. Only one of the most hospitable and respectful countries on the planet could have seen it through. 🙏🇯🇵

Keeping everything crossed for @LauraMcAllister this week, who’s done an amazing job of setting out why she would be a huge asset on the FIFA Council.

True local heroes are a dying breed in today’s global Premier League, which makes their stories even more powerful. Great piece by one of England’s most intelligent and talented young footballers... https://t.co/M305zYzDbR
