I was a late starter in the sport, starting at the age of 16, I began due to knee injury which stopped me playing high impact sports. Prior to finding myself on a road bike, I was a keen long-distance runner, footballer and cricketer.

I learnt a lot from the experienced riders on the team, to focus each day, maintain position in the peloton throughout, importantly doing a solid block of race days before this winter will compliment me going into 2021.

What are your thoughts on the Merida Scultura you will be racing this season?

It is a great bike, very light, stiff and reactive, I enjoy racing on it.
