Is the first time you have had support from the Dave Rayner Fund?

Yes, first time to have the support of the Dave Rayner Fund.

What is your cycling history ?

I started competing aged 14 with De Ver Cycles. At the same time, I was selected for British Cycling’s Youth Talent Team Programme. As a Junior, I achieved 4 top 10’s in the National road race series and several podiums in Belgium and the Basque Country. Representing Scotland at the Youth Commonwealth Games was also a highlight.

I spent my first year as an under 23 racing in the UK, Belgium and the Basque Country, gaining vital experience to take forward and learn from.

I have spent the last two years racing in Belgium for CT Tomacc. I have noticed a huge progression in this time, last season I achieved 11 top 10’s including 4 top 5’s. I’m really looking forward to stepping up this year, and improving on those results!

What team are you joining in 2015? Tell us a bit about your team.

I’ll be riding for CT Tomacc again in 2015, which will be my third year with them. The team is based in a small town called Poperinge, 5km from the French border, which offers great training and racing possibilities.

Do they have they a website we can link to?

What is your race programme looking like?

Our Race programme is yet to be decided, however we will be racing a lot of French, Belgian an Dutch Interclubs, kermesses, and possibly UCI 1.2’s, as well as the odd trip to Britain and Ireland.

Are you going on a training camp with the team?

Yeah, we are heading to the South of France, near Cahors on the 14th February for 10 days of quality training and team building.

When are you heading out to Europe/USA?

Heading out to Belgium on the 12th February.
