Oxford Cheetahs skipper Jesper B Olsen was among Denmark's World Team Cup squad who were put through their paces at Oxford Stadium yesterday.

The party included world championship contenders Nicki Pedersen and Hans Andersen as the bikes roared for the first time in earnest at Cowley this year.

The Danish team are managed by former Oxford favourite Jan Staechman, who said: "This is what we do each year to bring the team together for a bonding session and practice.

"We will also use King's Lynn and Scunthorpe this week."
