Surprise!

Guess who just got named to the British squad for the 2009 Track Cycling World Championships, even though he recently said, when asked about returning to the track, "there's nothing for me to do there now. I wouldn't gain anything in my career either financially or in terms of being remembered. It would just be a hindrance to what I can gain on the road."

That's right. Mark Cavendish. The preeminent road sprinter of the moment will make a surprise return to the track as part of the endurance squad of the British team at the forthcoming Worlds. Should be fun watching him in the Madison!
