English crowned youth girls’ champion
Monday 27th May 2013, 2:29PM BST.
THERE were some excellent performances from the 10 talented Guernsey Velo Club Youth Academy youngsters in the Southern Regional Mountain Biking Championships against the best riders from the Southern, Central and South East regions of the UK.
The accumulated points from the Youth Academy together with Team Guernsey’s Elite Senior riders secured the top team score, with Hannah English winning the girls’ youth category championship and Sam Culverwell leading the Southern Regional series juvenile male category.
In the U16 girls’ youth category, English, 14, found herself a bike length in the lead after the first long bend of a fast start.
On the long, very slippery course, she managed to hold her position and after the first 7km lap she had pulled away by almost two minutes from Abi Van Twisk, who had been tipped to win this race by the British Cycling website.
