UCI World Championships: Talented teen Watson homes in on cycling's world best
Sam Watson is the latest young Yorkshire cyclist to earn a chance to race against the world's best, writes Jonny Tomes.
Watson, 17, from Roundhay, has had his place in the British Cycling squad confirmed for the upcoming UCI World Championships in Austria, where he will be competing in the junior race.
“I’m really pleased,” he said. “It’s surreal. Last year as a youth rider I looked up to the older lads who went and took part in these races, so it’s a bit weird that now I’m doing them, but it feels good.”
