Right no cheating - no internet references or whatever and no thinking too long about it. How many medals do you think British cyclists of all disciplines - because all disciplines are just as important as each other (phew   ) - in all age groups (because all age groups are just as important as each other ) have won at UCI recognised World Championships (including "paralympic" type events) in the past 12 months? |

I don't know - hence my vote - but the fact that I don't know is, I think, A Good Thing.   |

Or it may mean you are getting seriously old and knackered! As we discussed Tony, none of these young kids are as good as you and I were when we raced against the legendary Mick Bills!  Plus the infamous Charlie Jackson of the Filey Holiday Camp Circuit races if my memory is correct! Or was it Blackpool - he even got his photo in ICS! |

I hope someone knows the answer to this poll as I haven't got a clue but if you include the Junior Worlds and the Worlds Masters Track Chamnps plus that young lass in BMX we must have quite a number if you add on the senior track worlds. Speedway? (Varno?)
Brian will now and if he doesn't then he should |

Need more numbers.
Geoff Cooke and Legro send it off the scale on their own (oh no that's last twelve years I'm thinking of...)

there's no "big fat zero" option
(I presume military medals don't count)

Well I could have said 30+ but that is what I meant with the 4th choice of "Too many to count etc" |

I always thought speedway was UCI recognised. Jim Varnish is always going on about how him and Tom Boonen are both about the same in wins at world's level |
