Olympic honour for Fox
By Sean Lawless on 10th Aug 16
British trials hero Donna Fox is at the Olympics in Rio where shes sweeping the cross country MTB course in front of the racers.
"I'm lead moto at the mountain bike race,” she said, "so will be riding a hired trials bike round at the front of the women's and men's races, checking the courses for obstacles that shouldn't be there.
"The volunteers close the crossing points on the track when I pass as they know the next rider is lead cycle. Basically it's so spectators can see from a distance where the front of the race is.
"I got the gig because I did World Cups at Dalby Forest with Richard Pickering and Ian Austermule, then the London Olympics - it's an honour as the UCI requested that I was used to do the job.
"Hope I don't crash and ruin someone's Olympic dream!”
