At the halfway point of the champs, and about what you would expect from the first national champs of a new Olympic cycle. Nice to see some young swimmers (Mills, Schlosshan etc) start to make waves.

Yeah, he's got an interesting range.

Thing is, I'm not sure he's just a sprinter, though clearly he's riding as one in Catalonia - he broke the world junior record in the individual pursuit on the track, and he was a national champion in the stayers derny class.

And he did it again. I remember a young British sprinter bursting onto the scene about twenty one years ago. What ever happened to him?!?! Apologies Brennan for the comparison but he'll have to get used to it if he keeps going like this.

I just read this on the BBC and looked him up. He has some truly fantastic results for someone so young.

And he does it again, an incredible win in Stage 1 of the Tour of Catalonia!

Honestly we need Hailey Duff in the squad too

Obviously delighted to secure qualification but can't help feeling that at the moment, we would only be going to make up the numbers. Hopefully there will be a bit of a shake-up in the squad and we won't see Morrison playing 4th. Maybe the selectors will be brave and drop her in favour of Fay Henderson. She's already been dropped as skip - surely it's only a matter of time before she is moved aside as fourth.
