Matt Richardson , 25 , has long wanted to race for the country of his birth.
The Australian took silver in the men's team sprint at the 2012 Olympics in Tokyo .
He switched nationality from Australia to GB in the final stages of the switch.
Richardson was born and brought up in Maidstone , in Kent , and moved to Australia aged nine .
Richardson began a relationship with Emma Finucane , the rising star of GB track cycling, in January this year .
He plans to stay with the Welsh rider and her housemate, fellow track rider Jess Roberts , at least until he has found a place of his own.
He is hardly the first and will not be the last sportsman to switch nationalities.
“I expect a bit of a backlash,” he says.
Richardson will not be allowed to compete for GB at the upcoming Track World Championships in Denmark or at next year ’s European Championships in Belgium in February .
The 25-year-old already knows Jack Carlin pretty well from training with him in Glasgow when he was over for those Commonwealth Games in 2022 .
