Really pleased to see Hammond finally get a start in a major tour - in the provisional start list for Cervelo.

I had the pleasure of being on a cycling camp with him and he said then that he'd never ridden a three week tour, just hadn't been the way his career went, so really pleased for him now.

His comment on Twitter:
"Getting ready for the Vuelta! Really excited about my 1st grand tour. Starts in Assen, Holland, I won a Youth tour there in '89!"

IMHO definitely one of the good guys, really helped Cav in his early days in the peleton,
