NEW GB FITNESS WORRY
Sunday, July 31, 2005
GREAT Britain boss Neil Middleditch was left sweating on the fitness of Lee Richardson overnight ahead of their World Cup opener at Swindon.
Richardson pulled out of Swindon’s Elite League clash at Eastbourne after three rides with illness.
Middleditch said: “I sent a text message to Lee to check on him and he responded saying he had been sick and needed a good night of sleep.”
