Neil Fachie and pilot Barney Storey’s gold success in the B 1km Time Trial, in which they beat Spain’s Jose Enrique Porto Lareo and and Jose Antonio Villanueva (silver) and the Netherlands’ Rinne Oost and Patrick Bos (bronze), is to be commemorated by the Royal Mail with a special stamp that will be available from Monday. In addition – and in line with the tradition begun last month at the Olympics – a post box in Aberdeen will be painted gold for Fachie and another in Disley in Cheshire for Storey, the husband of Sarah Storey who herself has already scored double-gold at the Paralympics. Fachie and Barney Storey’s 1Km Time Trial set a new World Record of 1:01.351.
