Grace Lister, part of our squad of junior riders has had a fantastic experience riding alongside Laura Kenny , who won gold in the 2012 Olympics when Grace was only 7 years old. Grace game into the Commonwealth Games having won a bronze medal at the Junior European champs only 2 weeks beforehand, an exciting points race for Grace in the Commonwealth Games as she went on the attack with Neah Evans in the closing few laps before unfortunately being caught; great racing showing perfectly how Grace always gets stuck in.

Jessie Carridge, 3rd at Lincoln Grand Prix earlier this season, on the podium alongside Becky Storrie who rode for the team last year, Jessie showed how her form was coming along ready for the games. Jessie has had a fantastic season so far, following her podium place at Lincoln Jessie was 11th at the CiCLE Classic, 25th at the National Championships, 7th at Lancaster Grand Prix and 22nd at her home race in the Isle of Man stage race. Jessie took the start line on Thursday in the Time Trial for the Isle of Man where she finished 24th.

In previous years Anna Henderson rode for Team OnForm, leaving the team in 2019 to ride for SunWeb and then Jumbo-Visma to pursue her cycling career so it was fantastic to see Anna on the podium for the Silver Medal in the time trial on Thursday. Becky Storrie who left us last year for UCI team Cams-Basso and who will be riding for Lecol-Wahoo in 2023-24 also competed this week, finishing 6th.
