Capital cycling star Sir Chris Hoy has shrugged off the effects of a flu bug and will be in the saddle tonight to contest the team sprint at the European Track Championships in Apeldoorn, Holland.

The 35-year-old features in an experienced Great Britain squad for the team sprint, with Jason Kenny – a colleague of Hoy in the Beijing Olympic gold medal-winning trio – and Jason Queally set to complete the line-up.

Queally, who won the Olympic kilometre time trial in Sydney 11 years ago, is now 41 years of age but is bidding for a place at the London Olympic Games next year.
