Under 15 Men : Oscar Chamberlain and Eddie Marcks
Oscar continues to shine, having made the podium in every event of the qualifying events in which he competed. A talented cyclist, we look forward to supporting him at this year’s National Championships. Eddie Marcks joins Oscar in the Under 15 category as a valued team member.

Under 17 Women : Claudia Marcks and Lily Stratford
Claudia and Lily have been working hard to produce consistent race results throughout the season. Lily has a strong background in track cycling, and we are keen to see where the road takes her. Claudia and Lily will make a great team, supporting each other in what will be a challenging competition.

Congratulations to all these riders whose dedication to cycling throughout these cold winter months has readied them to compete at the national level.
