As these pictures show, Victoria Pendleton’s also pretty hot off the mark when it comes to being a cover girl with hot pics.

Cycling ace Victoria Pendleton looks in great shape as she takes a break from training to model for a sexy photoshoot.

The world and Olympic sprint champion will be putting her pedal to the medal for Team GB at this year’s Games in London. And, as these pictures show, she’s also pretty hot off the mark when it comes to being a cover girl.

In a revealing interview and photo shoot with Esquire magazine dedicated Victoria, 31, born in Stotfold, Beds, says: “All I’ve ever wanted to be is really good at something.

“It didn’t matter what I did – and cycling just happened to be the opportunity that came along.”

She added: “People say as a sportsperson you shouldn’t reveal your weaknesses.

“But I am vulnerable. I am emotional. What’s wrong with that?

“As long as my legs are faster than the other girls and I hold my sh*t together, it doesn’t matter.”
