On yer bike...

A professional mountain-bike rider from Worcestershire is bidding for World Cup glory in the final round of the womens' downhill championships.


Tracy Moseley first took up the sport on her family's dairy farm in Malvern and went on to compete throughout her time at the Chase High School. She is currently the number one downhill rider in Britain and one of the world's top women in the sport.

The 26-year-old is currently in second place in the world cup table and is training in France ahead of the final women's race. She spends most of the year abroad training and racing, and is a full-time professional sportswoman.

The races involve hurtling down a muddy slope at 50 miles an hour, dodging trees and potholes, but Tracy says the adrenalin helps to spur her on.

Tracy spoke to BBC Hereford & Worcester's Howard Bentham:
