A host of cycling stars past and present joined guests at the 2015 Champions of CycleSport Dinner on Thursday night at Battersea Evolution in London.
Geraint Thomas, Dani King, Sir Chris Hoy, Rochelle Gilmore, David Millar, Sir Dave Brailsford, Chris Boardman, Alex Dowsett, Stephen Roche and many others were at the event, which raised £270,000 for Action Medical Research, the charity that helps sick babies and children.

Lots for auction included a one-off Maserati Cipollini BOND bike, which fetched £5000, a Tour de France yellow jersey signed by Chris Froome and a painting of Thomas, signed by the rider, which raised £4000.
Event ambassador Chris Boardman said: “I’m so proud to be the ambassador for the Champions of CycleSport Dinner, raising funds for Action Medical Research - not only is it a fantastic evening for an extremely worthwhile cause but they also lead the pack when it comes to organising great cycling events."
