Dan Bigham hoping for golden return
Dan Bigham hopes to be back to battle for Olympic gold on Wednesday after the GB men’s pursuit team set up a showdown with new world record holders Australia.
The 32-year-old from Stone is guaranteed to pick up a silver medal after GB beat Denmark in a thrilling heat at the San-Quentin-en-Yvelines velodrome on Tuesday.
But Bigham was not involved, instead sitting out to recuperate after revealing he had been involved in a crash during Saturday’s training session.
Charlie Tanfield took his place as the GB quartet pulled back more than a second in the closing kilometre of the 4,000 metre race to beat the Danes - gaining revenge on the team who knocked them out of the running at Tokyo 2020.
