Jason MacIntyre

The Braveheart Cycling Fund has launched a memorial fund to help Jason's family.

Jason was the full-time carer for one of his twin daughters, who suffers from a medical condition that means she requires continual attention. The fund aims to raise money to help Jason's family care for their daughter for two years.

Brian Smith - Marathon Man!
Tuesday 18th November, 2008

Former British pro champion Brian Smith a dad and running marathons? - we needed to find out more! Congratulations, I believe you're a dad now, Brian? "Yeah, Ethan is eight months now, it's cool being a dad, I'm enjoying the experience. He had me up three times last night though – that's not handy, especially if you're training for a marathon!"

Ross Creber - Scotland's Newest Professional Cyclist!
Monday 17th November, 2008

We all dream about it (or have dreamt about it) but 20 year-old South Queensferry man, Ross Creber has done it – put pen to paper on a pro contract, with Plowman Craven. VeloResults were on the phone, before the ink was dry. More...

Pros & Their PowerCranks: Part II
Saturday 15th November, 2008

In Part I on Tuesday, we learnt how recent Tour of Britain winner Marco Pinotti, one of Cadel’s lieutenants at Silence-Lotto Dario Cioni, and English Pro winning in Belgium Matt Brammeier, discovered PowerCranks and how they got in with them during their first rides. Here in Part II, the Pros let us in on how they integrate the cranks into their daily routines, and how the cranks can greatly help with rehabilitation after an accident. More...

Pros & Their PowerCranks: Part I
Tuesday 11th November, 2008

In a sport where Grand Tours are won or lost by mere seconds, every advantage counts. It’s no secret that many top pros use PowerCranks as part of their training program, but most prefer to keep that secret. But we found three pros - Marco Pinotti, Dario Cioni, and Matt Brammeier who not only use the cranks, but were happy to talk to us about them. In today’s Part 1, we ask each rider about how they got turned on to PowerCranks, and their experiences getting started. More...

Alex Coutts - Tour of Thailand Winner
Friday 24th October, 2008

In winning the Tour of Thailand, Alex Coutts joined an elite club - British riders who have won an overseas national tour. A couple from the memory banks are: in 1965 Vin Denson won the Tour of Luxembourg and in 1988 the hugely under-rated Cayn Theakston won an epic 19 stage Tour of Portugal - but there aren't many more. We caught up with Alex, just after the Scottish hill climb championship. More...

Scottish Hill Climb Championships
Sunday 12th October, 2008

On a mild but blustery day on the north side of the Ochil Hills, Ben Abrahams (equipe Velo Ecosse - Montpeliers ) finally realised some of his potential and gave new team sponsors Harley Haddow engineering and Warners solicitors value for money with a surprise 17 second win in the Scottish Hill Climb Championship. More...

Chris Hoy - Performances and Plans
Saturday 11th October, 2008

We've been stalking him since Beijing; and at last, we've cracked him - Chris Hoy, Olympic gold medallist in the team sprint, keirin and individual sprint. We've heard that he now retains Max Clifford, "PR guru to the stars," as his agent, so we decided we'd better check out the financial aspect of the interview, first... More...

Tour de Trossachs (incorporating the Scottish Olympic Time Trial Championships)
Sunday 5th October, 2008

On a picture postcard perfect Autumn Sunday, hospital consultant Arthur Doyle (Dooleys Cycles) gave a lesson in how to ride a technical time trial with a two minute plus beating of the field in the classic Tour of the Trossachs. Ever consistent Jim Cusick (Glasgow Couriers) was second with Plowman Craven professional and Scottish road race champion, Evan Oliphant taking bronze. Doyle's recent training regime of riding 55 miles to work each way, prepared him perfectly for the climbs, descents, corners and gnarly surfaces of the "Bristly Country" as the Trossachs translates from the Gaelic language.

Hamish Haynes on Nutrition
Saturday 20th September, 2008

Hamish Haynes is one of British cycling's 'forgotten men.' Whilst Cycling Weekly tells us about the successes of the U23 Academy riders in Italy, ex-British Elite Champion Hamish just gets on with the job, competing against some of the best riders in Belgium week in and week out. His recent win in the prestigous Reningelst event went unrecorded. Pete Slater at SIS has been helping Hamish with nutrition this year - no 'freebees' though, even Daniel Bennati pays for his 'Go bars' - we thought it would be a good topic to discuss with a man who regularly pushes his body to it's limits.

Ed Hood's La Vuelta a España Diary
Thursday 11th - Monday 15th September, 2008

Day 5 -- the last day for us, but the sun was out, Asturias was looking at it's best and Bill Medley and Jennifer Warne were on Kiss FM; "I've had, the time of my life," - damn right! Cudillero is a nice spot, not unlike one of the 'smugglers villages' in Cornwall, piled high into a steep cleft in the cliffs. We were there before the teams and had time for a wander, a coffee and to buy an Asturias T-shirt, I'm 53, it's sad, I know. More...
