What do you get when you put Chris Boardman, David Millar, Alex Dowsett, Rebecca Romero, Dani King and Rob Hayles in the same room? Manchester Bike Expo.

The six stalwarts of British cycling have seven Olympic medals and 14 Grand Tour wins between them and are speaking to the audience of the event across the weekend of March 20-22.

Nutrition experts High 5 and Clif Bar are at the exhibition, as are Schwalbe, WattBike and clothing companies including Fat Lad At The Back.
