Manx cyclists Jonny Bellis and Mark Cavendish are not attending the spectacular Opening Ceremony for the Beijing Olympics currently taking place.
Bellis is one of the first British competitors in action in tomorrow's Road Race.
Before he left for China, he told Manx Radio about how his decision to concentrate on his road career, rather than the track, has ultimately led to his selection:-
Football: Six progress to Ecap FA Cup first round proper
Rugby: Travel disruption scuppers opening ties of 2026
FC Isle of Man clash with Chadderton postponed
Hockey: Opening fixtures of 2026 campaign confirmed
