Jon Norfolk, Cycling Australia's head of performance pathways and people, is to move back to the UK and re-join British Cycling as its head of Tokyo performance planning ahead of next year's Olympic Games.

According to a report in Adelaide newspaper The Advertiser on Tuesday, visa complications have prompted Norfolk's decision to return to Britain after two years in Australia working alongside Cycling Australia performance director Simon Jones and general manager of the Australian Cycling Team Paul Brosnan in the senior leadership team.
