Young cyclists urge Olympic hero to "get well soon"
YOUNGSTERS from Solent Pirates Youth Cycling Club have sent their wishes to Hampshire's Olympic hero Dani King after her horror crash.
Club members today unveiled a banner with the words "Get well soon Dani! Love Solent Pirates" a day after it emerged she was seriously injured in a pile-up during training.
Dani, who is from Hamble, retweeted the picture after it was uploaded, adding it "made her day".
