U16 2014

Over 85 riders enjoyed a full day of great, incident free racing at the Swinnertoncycles.co.uk sponsored, British Cycling National Tandem Sprint Championship & Youth Midland Region Omnium Round 2014.

A packed programme of 50 events and heats contained a mixture of youth and experience with 20 riders in the exciting tandem sprint, along with stars of the future in the youth races. The day contained two main events – the National Tandem Sprint Championship with many current Para Olympic gold medallists and a round of the British Cycling Midland Youth Omnium series. This has seven gender and age categories of youth riders ,competing over 5 sprint and endurance events, to find the best riders on the day.

Under 16 Boys – A field of 17 under 16 boys battled over the five Omnium events, with some fast and furious racing from the moment the racing started. Jake Stewart (Solihull CC) was the top rider on the day, taking a well deserved win from Charlie Cox (Lichfield City CC). All the riders are to be commended for an excellent display of riding which was clearly ahead of their years, displaying plenty of promise for their future within the sport.
