Sir Chris Hoy and Sir Dave Brailsford have praised Ian Drake after British Cyclings chief executive announced he will step down in April.Drakes association with the national governing body began in 1995 and he has been chief executive since 2009. But he quits after a year of highs and lows.Great Britain topped cyclings medal table at the Rio Olympics and Paralympics, but there have been numerous controversies too, including an ongoing investigation into British Cycling and Team Sky by UK Anti-Doping over allegations of wrongdoing within cycling.Both the racing team and the governing body deny any wrongdoing. In a statement, Drake, who will remain in position to give time for his successor to be appointed, said: Some time ago I made the decision that the Rio Games would be my last as CEO of British Cycling.I believe that the end of this Olympic cycle is the natural moment for a new CEO to take the organisation forward into the Tokyo Games and beyond.Drake can celebrate many successes during his tenure as cycling has become Britains most successful Olympic sport, winning seven out of 10 gold medals on the track at Beijing 2008 and London 2012 and six out of 10 in August in Rio.Sir Bradley Wiggins became the first British Tour winner in 2012, in the 99th edition, with Chris Froome subsequently winning the race three times.Meanwhile, British Cycling now has 129,000 members.Six-time Olympic champion Hoy said: It was his vision to connect elite success with inspiration to participation, instilling in all athletes the awareness that it was not enough to win medals, but that we also need to inspire people to ride their bikes.Team Sky principal Brailsford, British Cycling performance director until April 2014, said: Ians legacy to cycling has been huge. He has been the architect of the grassroots revolution of the sport over the last decade and led British cycling to unprecedented success in Rio. His passion for cycling has shone through in everything he has done - from campaigning for safer cycling through to promoting mass participation events.He has led the way in building cycling facilities and infrastructure and under his leadership British Cycling membership has grown to the largest in its history.He has done all this with the highest standards of professionalism and integrity and the sport owes him a huge debt of gratitude.Brailsfords comments come at a time when British Cyclings relationship with Team Sky is under intense scrutiny.Team Sky and British Cycling have been intertwined since the road teams inception in 2009 and first season in 2010, with many staff and riders employed by both teams.Team Sky are involved in a furore following the decision to seek permission for Wiggins to use otherwise banned substances, and Brailsfords squad is now under investigation by UKAD.It is the latest crisis engulfing the sport in Britain in a 2016 mixed with great success and bitter controversy.Drake in recent weeks has secured an eight-year sponsorship agreement with banking giant HSBC, replacing Sky as British Cyclings lead sponsor - the media company remains sponsor of the professional road team - and been part of the team which won the bid to bring the 2019 Road World Championships to Yorkshire. However, recent months have been the most challenging of his leadership.Shane Sutton left his role as British Cycling technical director in April, 100 days prior to the Rio Olympics, following discrimination allegations.Sutton denies the allegations, which prompted an independent review. The review, commissioned by British Cycling and UK Sport, is scheduled to conclude imminently.The news of Drakes departure means British Cycling is now searching for two leading figures. British Cycling on Wednesday announced it was beginning the recruitment process for a new performance director. And now it is also searching for a chief executive.Drake added: All organisations, particularly those operating at the highest level of sport, periodically require new leadership to take them to greater heights and tackle their new challenges - now is the right moment for both myself and British Cycling to move on. Youth Hayden Hurst Jersey . Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance. Youth Jaleel Scott Jersey . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator. http://www.wholesalebaltimoreravensjerseys.com/ . Scott Kazmir allowed four hits in seven shutout innings, Michael Brantley hit a two-run homer in a three-run first inning and the Indians maintained their hold on an AL wild-card spot with a 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday night.

The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others. Norv Turner will mark his 30th year of coaching in the NFL as the offensive co-ordinator, as widely reported for weeks, and George Edwards will be the defensive co-ordinator. The action was heated all afternoon during Day 3 of the ELeague Major Qualifier, as Saturday saw teams from across the spectrum battle for the right to qualify for the ELeague Major in January. After the dust settled, GODSENT and FaZe Clan punched their tickets to the Major and will get to kick back and watch Sundays action from the green room. Meanwhile, Renegades and Team Spirit both lost their games and were sent packing.The day started out with G2 Esports dominating Vega Squadron in one of the most lopsided matches of the day. Vega Squadron certainly was feeling confident after the 4-0 start but fell flat on their faces from that point on. They would only win two more rounds the whole match as G2 went on a 16-2 run to take the map. Richard shox Papillon came up in a huge way with a 27/12 KD (kills/deaths) and a massive 122.3 ADR (average damage per round).The next match between GODSENT and HellRaisers was a bit closer, which was understandable given that this was the first matchup of the day between two 2-0 teams. The teams went back and forth during the first half, with HellRaisers taking an 8-7 lead into the half. It was all GODSENT in the second half, as they blitzed their way to a 16-11 win that propelled them straight into the Major. Jesper JW Wecksells play with the AWP in this match was a big reason the team was able to outlast HellRaisers in the end.Mousesports continued to ride their comeback train with another strong win, this time against the Chinese team TyLoo. Saying mousesports earned a strong win might be underselling their performance, as they played as if they had a personal vendetta against TyLoo, trouncing the team in a 16-3 win on Train. TyLoo was completely bogged down, with only two players getting double digits in kills.In the first elimination match of the day, Cloud9 handled business against Renegades. North Americans hopes and dreams live to see another day as Cloud9 took a 16-8 win. Timothy autimatic Ta shined yet again, this time going 29/10. Cloud9 still has a long road ahead in order to qualify for the major, as they will have to win from here on out in order to qualify.ddddddddddddIt was then OpTic Gamings turn to continue their march through the qualifier, earning a win over Ninjas in Pyjamas in a match that never really felt in doubt. While NiP got out to an early 6-4 lead, OpTic put it into overdrive from there. They won 12 of the next 15 rounds to take down the pajama-clad ninjas in a 16-9 series.Counter Logic Gaming, the third North American team that rarely gets a second look, then took the stage and promptly showed everyone why they get overlooked. Matched up against Team Dignitas, they kept the game close at the start, even taking a 4-3 lead after seven rounds before being completely picked apart by the Danes. Emil Magiskb0Y Reif, who is back in the lineup after missing the ECS Finals due to a school-related conflict, led the way with a 29/10 KD and 116.9 ADR. CLG must win its next two matches to qualify, while Dignitas just needs one more win.The last elimination match of the day was between Team EnVyUs and Team Spirit, and there was a clear gap between the two teams in this match. Team Spirit very much looked like a team who was just happy to be there, as they put together just two round wins in the match, both in the first half. Dan apEX Madesclaire was the top man for EnVyUs in the dominating performance with a 23/9 KD.The final game of the day starred two 2-0 teams, FaZe Clan and Immortals. FaZe Clan started out with a strong 7-3 lead before Immortals battled back to make it 8-7 going into the half. The second half was all FaZe, as their CT-side was impeccable on their way to a 16-11 victory that secured their spot in the ELeague Major in January.Twelve teams are now left standing for the final day of competition at the ELeague Major Qualifier. The action kicks off once again at 10 a.m. ET with what should be an exciting matchup between OpTic Gaming and HellRaisers, the winner of which will be the third team through to the Major.
