Young Daniel Thompson has recently been racing in the Isle of Man Youth Tour (29 April – 1 May). He was competing in the Under 8’s category in the three stage race.
He was in good form in the prologue time trial finishing in second place, just two seconds down on the winner.
However, he went one better in the next event, a road race, by winning it and taking over the leader’s yellow jersey. He won again on the final day’s race to extend his lead and win the overall title.
A great result Daniel, well done!
