A warm and sunny morning greeted the24 riders for the Cleveland Wheelers three-stage youth races at the Middlesbrough Cycling Circuit on Sunday.

Category C, D or E riders tackled a 10-kilometre scratch race, while the older riders in Category A and B rode a 24-kilometre scratch instead.

And all riders also rode a 1km time trial as well as an elimination race, where the last rider on each lap is pulled out.

Race 1 saw a group of six establish themselves sticking together to the end where Aaron Preston (Cleveland Whs) outsprinted Toby Tanfield (Cleveland Whs) and Joe Wilson (Stockton Whs).

Race 2 Levi Moody stamped his authority on the race from the start. Initially taking another 4 with him, but these were soon left in his wake and he eventually lapped the field. Jake Dobson and Scott Auld being the last two to succumb.
