Welsh Cycling in conjunction with Newport Velo will be holding a 3 race omnium series over a three month period beginning on January 23rd 2010 and continuing on February 20th and March 20th. The events will be for experienced Youth A, B and C riders and held at Newport Velodrome.
Event organiser Michael Heaven said, “This is going to be an exciting series of events aimed at giving our track stars of the future a real opportunity to gain some bunch race experience and build their early season fitness. We have a superb facility here in Newport and what better way to show it off than with some non stop racing action.”
Special guests will include the Multi World Champion Geoff Cooke and Double World and European Champion Becky James. The Mayor of Newport will also be on hand on February 20th to present some prizes.
With the success of the GB teams over the past few years, youth track racing has taken off massively in Wales and across the UK. These events will give the young riders an opportunity to showcase their skills in a top class facility with a high standard of racing.
Young riders such as Matt Cross, Rebecca Hunt and Amy Roberts will be just a few young stars looking to emulate their fellow pro Welsh riders Geraint Thomas and Nicole Cooke.
There will be spot prizes at each event along with medals for each round and overall series trophies.
The events are pre-entry only at £7 per round or £20 for all 3 rounds.
