"As long as I'm enjoying it, I'll carry on. It's the travelling that exhausts you more than anything else, the riding is easy." Scott Nicholls has no thoughts of retirement as he prepares for the Championship Pairs on home shale at Oxford.
HANS STANDS DOWN
"I am pretty happy I have taken the decision. If the team does win the World Championship for the next few years, I may feel I have missed out. But if I didn't win next year, I could say 'oh, I have to go on for another year'. You have to take a final decision sooner or later and that's what I have done." Denmark boss Hans Nielsen has no regrets about standing down.
STAYING FOCUSED
"I like one day tracks. They are as short as my own track that was near my house a long time ago. My father built it for me when I was very young. This kind of track reminds me of my happy youth." World Championship leader Bartosz Zmarzlik is looking forward to Cardiff.
