DERBYSHIRE'S Annie Last has been named in the England cycling team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Last, from Great Longstone, is part of a 31-strong squad which includes eight Olympic champions.
The 23-year-old will be competing in the women's mountain bike event.
Olympic gold medallists Laura Trott, Joanna Rowsell, Dani King, Ed Clancy, Steven Burke, Jason Kenny and Philip Hindes are among the riders who will be in action on the track at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome next month.
Sir Bradley Wiggins, meanwhile, has been selected for the road team.
Team England Chef de Mission Jan Paterson said: "This cycling team is undoubtedly the best we have ever seen selected for Team England.
"To have eight Olympic Champions line up alongside previous Commonwealth Games medallists and some supremely talented younger athletes is genuinely exciting for us.
"Whether it's on the track, the road or at the mountain bike course cycling fans are in for a treat when Team England are competing."
Technical director Shane Sutton added: "I believe we have selected a very strong team for this year's Commonwealth Games and it's great that we have such a talented pool of English cyclists to select from.
"It's also promising to see some of our young academy riders, such as Danni Khan, also make selection for something as big as the Commonwealths.
"I speak on behalf of all the team when I say we can't wait for the racing to begin in Glasgow."
