A total of six new champions were crowned at the Richard Dunn Sports Centre at Bradford in West Yorkshire. On a warm, partly sunny day, the under 16 riders in six different categories raced hard and fast for the honour of being the Champion of their country.

 

We have reports from the all the races as well as some pictures and the results. Once we have gone through the 2,500 pictures taken during the day, photo galleries of the race action will be posted here as well. Podium pictures will not be published in these galleries and parents wanting copies of them, will need to email me directly (email above).

Youth B Girls (under 14)

 

Laura Trott was in a class of her own and lapped the whole field to win her age group and go one better than the year before. The other two strongest riders were Penny Rowson (EVR Raleigh) and Harriet Owen (Palmer Park Velo) who chased the Welwyn Wheelers young lady and on the final lap, Harriet attacked Penny and clinched the silver with Penny third. >>>>Go

 

 

 

 

Youth A Girls (under 16)

 

Hannah Mayo of the Raleigh EVR was the winner of this race but not before a written protest was lodged by silver medallist Helen Clayton (CC Giro) who felt she had been blocked in her sprint. Third, after avoiding a last lap crash which took out a number of riders, one of the races strongest riders Katie Colclough (Sleaford Wheelers) held on for third. >>>>Go

 

 

 

Youth C Boys (under 12)

 

With a super ride where he dominated the race, Jonathon Dibben (i-Team.co.uk), was too strong for Sam Lowe of Merlin. The bronze went to Harry Tanfield of the Cleveland Wheelers. >>>>Go

 

 

 

 

 

Youth B Boys (under 14)

 

This race was all Dan McLay's (Leicestershire RC) who spent most of the race with Samuel Fry (Welwyn Wheelers) out front but when the time came, he put the hammer down and won convincingly. Lewis Balycki (Ribble Valley Juniors) won the sprint for the bronze medal. >>>>Go

 

 

 

 

 

Youth A Boys (under 16)

 

After winning his heat solo, Tom Skubala used his head and legs wisely in the final to win the sprint for the Gold that shocked even himself. He defeated Andrew Fenn (Agisko Viner) in the sprint with Ben Plain (Hargroves Cycles), another of the leading riders in third. >>>>Go
