    Is Edgar going? You missed out Kevin Stewart, also national team sprint silver medalist.

    Yeah, pretty sure Edgar is going. Haven’t heard of Kevin Stewart, is he Scottish based? He’ll have been in the team with young John Paul- was that the Edinburgh RC team?

    He’s the flag bearer:

    Edgar will ride the keirin and individual sprint in Delhi, having opted to let the younger members of the team contest the three-man team sprint. “I’m on standby for it, but it gives the younger guys an opportunity to race at the highest level, and an insight into what it’s like,” he explained. “There’s some young talent coming through, and this is a good opportunity for them to get experience for the Glasgow Games.
