Wellington School pupil, Evan Richards from Year 8, has won a momentous cycling victory.
Evan competed against the top youth riders in the South West to secure an impressive win at the end of the cycling road race season.
He won the final race of the South West Youth Cycling Series at Merryfield Airfield on Saturday where he beat a very strong field from all over the South West, the South and Wales.
The Youth Series is aimed at improving the standard of racing within the South West and is also used to help select representative teams for regional events. It is a fun and enjoyable activity for all competitors and successful riders will be expected to go on to National Youth Circuit Races.
This achievement sets Evan in good stead for a successful Cyclo-Cross season over the winter months. In the meantime he continues to ride the track having been selected to train as part of Welsh Cycling’s Project 2018 Programme.
Well done Evan, we look forward to hearing more about your adventures next season.
