Chris Hoy, Olympic triple gold medallist also recently announces further plans for the London 2012 VeloPark which is to be completely funded by National Lottery funds. The VeloPark will receive funding for a London Velodrome which will seat 6,000 spectators. After the Olympic games have taken place a mountain bike course and road cycle circuit will be added to the track’s facilities to create a legacy park which will combine all cycling facilities in one central hub.

It’s a huge venture for the lottery and is raising a huge amount of money which Olympians hope will carry on the huge success that the UK had in Beijing.
