[Music] [Music] So, my name is Tom Haynes. I’m the head coach at the University of Nottingham Cycling Squad. We have a um an allaround program for track riders, road riders, uh time trialists, everything. We’ll we’ll we’ll support you in whatever you want to do. We have um fantastic facilities at the David Ross Sports um sports village in the high performance zone. There is just a um dedicated SNC. Uh we have um physio to support all our performance athletes. Um and also we have sports psych support and nutrition support. Our program really is based around bucks. So we’ll do track through the winter and then we’ll move into team time triing and time triing and road racing. And at Nottingham, you’re never more than about an hour away from a road race all the way through the summer. It’s it’s awesome. What I bring to the program, I bring a lot of enthusiasm. I I love cycling. What I really love is bringing athletes into Nottingham and then watching them and helping them develop as bike riders, as bike racers. So yeah, enthusiasm, support in whatever you want to do as a bike rider, you’ll get support at Nottingham. [Applause] So if you come to Nottingham, it doesn’t matter whether you’re a very experienced bike rider, if you’re if you’re a cat one or elite rider, we’ll have a place for you. But if you’re a third cat or you’re just starting out in bike racing and you want to come along and get a um full program, lots of support, but be able to to start off as a bike racer, then again, this is the place for you. If you wanted to come and learn track, then Nottingham is a superb place to come and do that as well. So, if you don’t have a team, then this is a great place for you. If you’re an international student and you want to come to us and think, actually, I need a team to race in, we have a team for you, ready to go. Um, and the racing, like I say, is is so close to us. It’s it’s a brilliant place to be.
