Hoy is anorexic compared with Robert Förstemann

Forstemann's medal collection is positively anorexic when compared to Hoy's.

Press conference booked in for Thursday... looks like he will announce his retirement:

Nah, he's announcing his participation in the Nocturne Skid Comp.

^ He must have forgotten about his commitment to doing mad skidz....

on yer boik!

Bit sorry he won't race at glasgow but after london you can imagine the bloke wants a rest

Yup... can only imagine the amount of effort required to compete at that level and win.

It's a good idea to go out on top.

NB: do not read the comments below the article

if i could be fucked logging in i'd slap those 'tards

if i could be fucked logging in

There are much better sites for that than the BBC.

I run them..

I saw him ride at the Olympic Velodrome test event, "Pays The Cost To Be The Boss" booming out of the soundsystem as he did his laps of honour, it was pretty epic.

wearing nike golf gloves!? 2002, well seen there was no team Sky money seeping in!

Big whoop - not brave enough to cycle on the roads, never even won the TdF.

Can't turn right.

I can never look at Hoy without thinking of this:

So yeah. Farewell, Sir Hulk McHugethighs!

Real shame he couldn't make it to the Commonwealths, but fair play to him for making the decision.

Rumoured to be taking to four wheels, in fact looked pretty tasty on Motoring Heroes whilst interviewing Jimmy Macrae.

Hoy's on The One Show now talking about BMXing.

And how - if he got on a BMX he would look like a silverback humping a coat hanger and it would shatter into a million tiny pieces?
