New British signing Roger Hammond and Mark Cavendish have both been getting in the miles as they work on their form for the new season. Hammond was disappointed with his ride in the National cyclo-cross worlds but is very excited about the 2007 season.
?The season ahead looks like it could be the most exciting that I have known as a professional. I have settled in with the Team extremely quickly and training is going very well. With the Tour de France starting in London this year and with the emergence of the Tour of Britain as a major race in the calendar, 2007 will be a massive year for British cycling and I am looking forward to playing a big part in it.?
