The Scotwaste Monarchs hold their Press and Practise session on Friday, and have planned a day which will finish at the Hampton Hotel.

The day will start with the team meeting for the first time this year a full 90 minutes before the Press session. This will be the first chance for new signing Ronnie Correy to meet his team mates and for Andrew Tully to start to feel like the full time Monarchs he now is!

The Press launch will be at 2pm, followed by the usual photo session and then the practise afternoon, the first opportunity of 2007 for the team to get their wheels on the Armadale track.

Once the action is over, the riders will come into Edinburgh for a meal at the Hampton Hotel in Corstorphine Road. Once they have had time to eat in comfort, the riders will be available to meet the fans in informal surroundings.

Supporters can of course come to the Hampton at any time but the riders are likely to have finished their meal by about 7.30pm.
