Manxman Jonny Bellis is preparing to take part in this year's Beijing Olympics.

The 19 year-old was told on Monday he had a place in the Great Britain cycling squad, and there is now just under a month before the games get underway.

Mark Cavendish has also been selected, and will ride in the Madison, in which he is the reigning world champion.

Jonny made history last year when he became the first Britain in 40 years to get a medal at the World Championships.

He's sure that played a significant part in gaining him a place in the Olympic squad:
