    No complaints over a lack of racing from sprint cyclist Ethan Mitchell as he counts down to his third Olympics in a Covid-ravaged world

    No complaints over a lack of racing from sprint cyclist Ethan Mitchell as he counts down to his third Olympics in a Covid-ravaged world


    He says at their Cambridge base they've had better relative build-up than a lot of other riders heading to Tokyo.



    Eddie Dawkins' retirement has forced a rejig of the team sprint line-up that earned silver in Rio.

    He's been replaced by Sam Dakin who will lead out.

    That means the responsibility for the explosive last lap finish has fallen to Sam Webster with Mitchell as the second wheel.
