Legend!🇬🇧
Favourite gold medal performance? 🥇
One of my favourite TV sporting memories was the first time I saw Laura in a "Devil", I think it was the 2011 European Championships. A tiny wee slip of a 19 year old demonstrating an incredible combination of stamina, speed, acceleration, bike handling and tactical awareness; and on top of that it was supremely entertaining!
Splendid.
Absolute beast👊👊👊
Well done, Trotty. Congratulations on a great career. Enjoy your retirement.
