GORDON MCCAULEY SELECTED FOR NEW ZEALAND WORLDS SQUAD

Gordon McCauley 2007

Plowman Craven rider Gordon McCauley has been selected for the New Zealand team travelling to the world championships this September. The Brit based Kiwi will ride the time trial in Stuttgart, Germany along with New Zealand TT champ Glen Chadwick.

McCauley was informed on Thursday of his selection; the next day he was named as New Zealand?s 2006 cyclist of the year, ?I?m hoping for a cheque for one million dollars, but I'll probably just get a certificate,? he joked.

McCauley's selection comes off the back of his bronze medal at the Commonwealth games last year, and his performance in British time trials this season. ?I got four comp? records in eight tt?s, and I got the course record at Abergavenny (19.41) on a really windy night.?

He is also lying third in the Premier Calendar series, with the chance to secure second at this Sunday's Pendle Grand Prix.
