British team leave for the European Championships In Barroco D’Alva Portugal

7^th August

Sky Consort retired from the squad for Portugal

Sophie O’Hara Smith writes:
It is with great regret that I have to announce my decision to withdraw Sky Consort (Louis) from the European Championship team. Whilst he passed the final team assessment with flying colours last weekend and is 100% sound, I  am not confident that he can put in a Championship performance.  It is clear to me that he is not totally happy since I have increased his training after the selection ride at Cirencester where he sustained a blow to an old splint..Full Report
