Scots cyclist fumes as easyJet sends £14k bike and luggage to Italy instead of London ahead of race

A Scots competitive cyclist has been left without his gear for a race after easyJet staff sent his luggage to Italy - while he flew to London.

Richard Davidson, a sports science professor, flew from Edinburgh to Stansted Airport, where he was due to fly onto the south of France to take part in renowned cycling race Haute Route Pyrenees. But while Richard touched down in London safe and sound, his luggage did not - and was in fact in Naples, Edinburgh Live reports

The 55-year-old said airline staff had labelled his luggage with the details of another person after experiencing problems with their label printer at check-in. He is yet to be reunited with his belongings - including the bike he needs to take part in the race.
