Rapha stars confirmed for Cycle Show

Six of the UK's top riders from the Rapha-Condor-Sharp team have been confirmed for this weekend's Cycle Show taking place at the NEC in Birmingham.

Fresh from his victory in the King of the Mountains classification in the Tour of Britain, Jon Tiernan-Locke will be manning the Condor stand between 1pm and 2:30pm on Saturday along with fellow Rapha teammates Andrew Tennant, Ed Clancy and Kristian House and Directeur Sportif John Herety.

Free to talk bikes, breakaways and the team's victories this season will be Dean Downing and Graham Briggs, on the stand between 1-3pm on the Thursday (trade day) and Friday of the show.

This year's event sees Cycle Show celebrate its tenth year by moving to the NEC for the first time. In this larger venue, visitors can experience stands from over 200 exhibitors including those from leading manufacturers and interactive events.

Geraint Thomas will be back from Copenhagen to officially open the event on Thursday, whilst Great Britain's Rebecca Romero and newest heroine, Junior World Champion Lucy Garner, will open the event to the public on Friday.
