The MTB World Championship Team to race in Slovakia in September once again includes the mother and son combination of Carolyn and Adrian Jackson.

The Team includes 5 previous medal winners in MTB World Championships in Adrian, Alex Randall, Mary Fien, Carolyn and Anna Sheldon. They will have strong back up from Paul Darvodelsky, who is also the Team Manager, and Tony Clark. Melissa Thomas will be included in the team subject to achieving good results in both the Czech and Polish 5-day events in July. One major setback at the present time is an injury to Anthony Darr which forced him to miss the selection trials and will keep him off the bike for about another 5 weeks, after which time it is hoped that he can prove his fitness and take up a place in the team.
