Sir Chris Hoy is to host a virtual bike ride as part of a fundraising challenge inspired by the late rugby legend Doddie Weir.

The six-time Olympic gold medallist will lead the Doddie Aid Coffee and Cake Ride on Sunday to raise funds for My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, which was set up by Weir in 2017 to support research into motor neurone disease (MND).
