Victoria Pendleton: goes like a bomb

You could hardly open a paper or magazine or look at the TV recently without gazing upon the lovely face of Britain's Olympic Gold medal winning sprint cyclist, the splendid Victoria Pendleton (even her name has a wonderful ring to it!).

Victoria and Elle MacPherson promote the Skyride. Very "A" list!

Whether promoting a London charity bike ride, a new fitness game for the Wii (such a silly name), appearing in FHM or turning up as a celebrity guest of the Brawn Formula 1 team at the British Grand Prix last month Miss Pendleton has been everywhere.

It took Agent DVD several seconds to realise that there was also a girl in the picture

We have to thank Agent DVD for first sending us a picture of the lovely seven times World Champion sprinter, looking lovely in an evening dress.

"Would you like me to adjust your nuts?"

Victoria has admitted being a girly girl who likes to dress up and loook good and since becoming well known she has been sought out by photographers to model in something other than lycra.

However, she says she will never be much of a model as she has so many scars it takes a huge amount of digital touching up to make her look respectable.

Girl next door. If only.

Ignoring the fact that digitally touching up Victoria would not be that much of a hardship others obviously still feel that it is worth the effort.

Cover girl

Notably FHM, who featured her on their cover and inside last month, although reputedly Victoria wasn't paid a penny for the shoot whech seems rather mean of them.

Oh my goodness, you could crack walnuts with those!

This, needless to say has not gone down well with the grungier cycling activist end of the bike community. Particularly the women who seem very "disappointed" that she has had to sell out to the likes of FHM and can only promote herself on her looks. Oh dear, welcome to the world.

Victoria, at just 5'5" tall is very petite for a track sprinter and makes some pointed comments about the suspciously masculine attributes of some of her rivals.
