Dani King raring to go after injury lay-off

The 24-year-old cyclist suffered a training crash in November which resulted in five snapped ribs and delayed the start to her season.

But, with her final training camp now finished, King is gearing up for a busy season of road racing with Wiggle Honda.

The hope is that racing on the road will help to nurture a strong endurance base and that King can return to the track in time for next summer's Olympics.

And she says she is feeling better than ever after her injury and looking forward to getting her campaign started.

"Just seeing that x-ray was horrible, you know you have injured yourself but it was pretty terrifying to see it in such graphic detail," King told women's tour.

"It's amazing how quick the body heals though. I can't believe how well I am going right now.

"I had to recalibrate my season and basically start everything two months later than intended.

"In many ways it hasn't worked out too bad because at this moment in time I feel the best I have ever felt.

"I clearly needed to build up my endurance and talking to riders like Brad Wiggins, Geraint Thomas and Pete Kennaugh they all said that a really long spell on the road had often helped their performance on the track with the GB Men.

"So I talked it all through with Shane Sutton and Paul Manning and decided to commit to a full season racing on the road with Wiggle Honda with that exact purpose in mind. They will have access to all my training and racing data throughout the year."
