Other news:
Britain's badger sprint team, three times world champions, will be hoping to put in a big performance in Sunday's Delamere World Cup round to prove to the world they're still on top of their game. Emerging cycling nations America and China should finally make their mark at the top level of the sport in the same event, with their talented racoons and red pandas respectively proving to be a major threat in earlier competitions this season.
