Cycling: Haston keen to give her British Masters jersey an airing
The City of Edinburgh rider, a convert from athletics, currently shares top spot with youngster Katie Archibald of Edinburgh Racers.
However, Haston will have an added desire to see action so that she can display the British Masters champion’s jersey she earned over the weekend at Newport where she landed two gold medals and three silvers.

Skinner and Mitchell were members of last year’s silver medal winning line-up, together with Philip Hindes, who is absent this year to prepare for the London Olympics.
Nineteen-year-old Skinner also took bronze in the individual sprint 12 months ago and will hope to improve on that result, but will be keen to avoid a repeat of events in the Keirin, which ended for him with a painful crash.
