ISLE of Man youth cycling featured prominently on BBC TV’s Breakfast Show on Tuesday morning when a five-minute slot focussed on the Manx roots of Olympic cyclists Mark Cavendish and Peter Kennaugh.
There were interviews with Mark’s father, David Cavendish, Peter Kennaugh and Dot Tilbury.
Several members of the Scottish Provident Youth Cycling Club were also featured at one of their weekly indoor spin sessions at Braaid Hall.
The slot was shown twice at around 7.40 and 8.40am on BBC1, together with some scenic footage of the island.
Radio 5 Live will be broadcasting from the island on Saturday evening, following the Olympic Road Race.
Among the venues they are expected to be sending regular reports from is Colours Night Club on Douglas Promenade.
Sky TV will not be in the island as originally planned.
