    Former British cyclist and cycling journalist Michael Hutchinson told BBC Radio 5 live that this was a key time for the sport.

    "It's potentially the Alex Ferguson moment isn't it? It's a big deal because Sir Dave Brailsford is the man who built the system. It's a job very much of his own invention," he said.

    "He built the system, he designed the systems. He designed the interactions. He put the whole thing together and he is a man it very much depended on.

    "On the other hand the last world championships a few weeks ago [were] the least successful world championships that the British team has had for a while. There has certainly been speculation in and around the team that perhaps Dave was spreading himself too thin, so in that way it's not a surprise. The question really is how they replace him."
