Ben gets 6th in Belgium.

Young Ben Dunn continues to impress with an outstanding result in his first trip abroad to Belgium last weekend.
Riding for the British Cycling Talent Team Ben throughly enjoyed the experience despite the cold wind's, driving rain and yes, the belgian cobbles! With fellow BC Team member Daniel Mclay winning the event Ben rode hard to finish 6th! A fine result in his opening European race!

Congratulations to Ben from all of the Velosport GCM Landscapes Team!

Belgium Calling.

Ben Dunn's learning curve is to take a huge step the weekend of 15/16th March as he will be a member of the British Cycling talent team taking part in the 2008 Deinze-Ieper race in Belgium. This is the first of two planned trips to spiritual home of cycling and of the legendary Eddy Merckx this year for Ben.

A full report will follow, but for now, GO BEN!!

Darley Moor Circuit 2.

Once again a windy day greeted Ben Dunn to the Darley Moor Circuit and once again Ben delivered the goods only this time going one better to get 3rd in the Senior race and again winning the Under 16's!

Is there no stopping this kid?

Darley Moor Circuit.

Strong winds greeted Ben Dunn at the Darley Moor circuit for the 1st round of the Ashfield RC promoted event. With a good start to the 55km race Ben was well positioned in the field but as the wind battered the field two riders managed to escape from the bunch and forge ahead. As the race entered the closing kms the two leaders crossed the line as Ben lead home the bunch only to be passed by Russ Haynes (Lutterworth CC) on the line! So 4th in the race but winning the under 16's!
A great start to the 2008 road season!

Revolution Future Stars.










Ben continued his track progress at the recent Revolution Future Stars race held at the Manchester Velodrome. The evenings events were held to a capacity crowd and although being undergeared Ben held his nerve and used the event to learn and hone his track skills! He certainly didn't let the huge crowd get to him! A future star indeed!
