Harold "H" Nelson

[2] From the early days, his methods are based on care of the body, power training and monitoring the heart rate - using them well in advance of their widespread use.Riders he coached in the 1960s included time trialists Keith Stacey (British Best All-Rounder 1965) and Eric Matthews (24-hour champion 1968)[1].More recently he helped Hamish Haynes (British National Road Race Champion 2006): he joined the training programme as a third-category rider and under Nelson's guidance he became an elite rider within two years before turning professional for a Belgian team.[2] A number of past riders have moved on to other roles within the sport: four have been GB team masseurs for major events including the World Championships and the Olympic Games.Rob Palmer, another former rider, has worked as a chiropractor with a number of professional teams including Garmin and Cannondale.
