The juvenile cyclist made his debut at these championships last year  and returned with one gold and silver along with two bronze medals. This time he has plans to better that performance.

“I am pleased to be the one selected by the club. When I rode in the festival last year, I did not know what to expect even though my performance was excellent. But this time around I know what I am going into and I would definitely be going out there and take it to the other riders with the aim of improving on my performances.”
