Superman deserves his lap of honour on home turf

DAME LAURA'S HOPE FOR HOY IN GLASGOW

- Mike Walters

DAME LAURA KENNY has a special wish for Sir Chris Hoy at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow next year.

Britain’s greatest female cyclist wants to see Hoy afforded a lap of honour in his eponymous velodrome and to feel the love of his people raining down from the tribunes.

The six-time Olympic champion’s devastating revelation last October that he has terminal prostate cancer is a shattering blow to those of us who thought he was unbeatable on a bike and indestructible in everyday life.

A spin around the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, his lasting gift to cycling, is the least he deserves following a valiant campaign to highlight the silent killer which will blight one in eight men.
