Team GB Olympic legend Victoria Pendleton joins us for Breakfast!

She's coming to tell us about her autobiography 'Between The Lines' over a cup of tea.

London 2012 was Queen Vic's final professional appearance on the cycle track before her retirement, and what a way to go out! A gold in the Kierin and a silver in the Sprint capped off a career cluttered with medals and titles galore. Victoria won nine world titles including a record six in the individual sprint competition. She's the reigning world champion for the sprint, and a former Olympic, European and Commonwealth champion (not to mention an MBE to boot!)

And we think her retirement is well deserved; she did start at the age of nine after all! She competed in her first race at that tender age before being spotted in her teens and shooting to cycling success during her time as a student.

We wonder which tracks she'll choose to play...?
