The trial of two men accused of robbing the home of Mark Cavendish is set to begin today.
Romario Henry, 31, and 28-year-old Oludewa Okorosobo will appear at Chelmsford Crown Court in relation to the incident in the Ongar area of Essex at around 2.35am on 27 November 2021, just days after Cavendish was released from hospital in Belgium having sustained a punctured lung and broken ribs in a crash at the Ghent Six Day.
Cavendish and his wife Peta reported being threatened during the raid witnessed by their children, and the former Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl sprinter — still without a team for the upcoming season — at the time said his family had been left "extremely distressed" and "feared for their lives".
Essex Police confirmed nobody suffered serious injuries and that a Louis Vuitton suitcase and two high-value watches were stolen.
Henry, from Lewisham, and Okorosobo, from Camberwell, deny two counts of robbery.
Please note due to the ongoing trial comments are closed on this story.
Dan joined road.cc in 2020, and spent most of his first year (hopefully) keeping you entertained on the live blog. At the start of 2022 he took on the role of news editor. Before joining road.cc, Dan wrote about various sports, including football and boxing for the Daily Express, and covered the weird and wonderful world of non-league football for The Non-League Paper. Part of the generation inspired by the 2012 Olympics, Dan has been 'enjoying' life on two wheels ever since and spends his weekends making bonk-induced trips to the petrol stations of the south of England.
