Gold medallist Ed Clancy eyes Newport Nocturne

Team pursuit Olympic gold medal cyclist Ed Clancy has become the first big name to sign up for next month's Newport Nocturne.

The 27-year-old will be hoping to add the Nocturne title to the gongs he picked up at the Games.

Clancy, who also won bronze in the omnium, has been named in a team of six from Rapha Condor-Sharp to compete at the Nocturne on September 1.

Wolverhampton ace Andy Tennant will also be there after suffering bitter disappointment in the Olympics after missing out on a place in the four-man team pursuit.
