Scottish National Youth Circuit Series #4: Ellon Town Centre Youth Criterium 2019
18th August
The Ellon crit is the latest instalment of the Scottish series and is the last one for a few months. This will be a challenging circuit whatever the weather and will be a tough outing for all competitors. It will be interesting to see if those who performed well in the recent Race the Volcano at Arthurs seat can transfer their skills back to a flat crit.
La Phillippe Gilbert Juniors
18th August
The La Phillippe Gilbert Juniors race is now becoming a regular feature on the calendar, which first appeared in 2013. Alfie George will be returning for the second year running and will hope to translate his recent form on the track to this one-day road race. Last time out he finished 7th and 2nd British, and will be hoping this year to place in top 5 or even perhaps trouble the podium.
