In my teenage years I was a fanatical racing cyclist - not quite as fast as Chris Hoy though! Janet and I still follow cycle racing and are regular spectators at the Manchester Velodrome. We've followed the career of Chris Hoy and are thrilled at the success he's had this year. Chris is an exemplary sportsman, showing true vision, grit and determination to achieve his goals. A role model for us all. The knighthood is the icing on the cake, and it 'couldn't happen to a nicer guy' as the saying goes.
I've taken the opportunity to publish a solo shot of Chris I took at an earlier World Cup meeting at the velodrome, as well as one of my favourite shots of my favourite event - the Keirin.
I'm not normally a sports photographer as such, but it's great practice for when I'm photographing fast-moving kids on an outdoor photoshoot !
