The team, who train at the Derby Arena, are currently the fifth fastest track cycling teams in the world.

They are aiming for Gold in the meet at London’s Olympic velodrome having already beaten some of the world’s top teams – including Team GB - at recent world cup series competitions in Germany and Canada.

Our season continues on Friday with Piva performing

"Christmas Music from Shakespeare's time"

Piva were most entertaining on a previous visit so this promises to be an excellent concert.
