The Six Day Series has provided invaluable racing experiences to the Great Britain Cycling Team academy squad, with Senior Academy rider Bostock commenting: “Six Day Berlin will be my third Six Day event of the season and they have all been part of a massive learning curve for me.
"I think it’s helped me think out my race tactics a bit more, and it’s helped me to be more independent in a race environment. Being able to watch the elite racing and being around the elite riders has been really valuable and competing in the Six Day atmosphere has been a great experience too.”
