Outstanding success across UK

Coventry based Team Jewson M.I.Racing - Thule - CNP - Kinesis, riders were in outstanding form this week at events all over the UK.

New Lady Team member Michelle King, riding her first event for Team Jewson, finished a brilliant 5^th in the British 10 ml Time Trial Championships, held at Teeside in the N.East in terrible windy conditions.

Michelle the reigning Rudy Project series National Champion, finished only 6 secs off the Bronze Medal, despite there being the strongest ever entry including 12 Professional riders. Michelle has to fit her training in around a full time job, where many of the riders she beat are either Professionals, riding in events all over the world, or are on the Great Britain National Squad, making it a fantastic start to her career with Team Jewson - M.I.Racing

Team Director - Mick Ives said "Michelle, has progressed so much in recent seasons, and I feel that with the Teams help , she will go from strength to strength, Michelle started her racing career with Coventry Cycling Club, so she is very much a local girl, her ride in the Championship against such opposition was awesome".
