A promising cyclist has been given a huge boost as he prepares to race on the international stage.
Josh Knights, who is part of the Mountivation Cycling Development Academy Team, will receive help with travel expenses from Capital Treasury Services.
Josh, from Douglas, said: ‘I’m absolutely delighted to have the support of Capital Treasury Services for my first season.
‘This is going to be the biggest year of my career so far, so to have this level of backing is really fantastic. The sponsorship will help with my off-island travelling expenses, as I will be competing in Ireland, the UK and Belgium.’
Josh, 17, has been cycling for nine years. He is the island’s current 10-mile junior time-trial champion and has also won the junior section of the Conister Bank-sponsored 10-mile time-trial series.
John Cookson, managing director of Capital Treasury Services, said: ‘We’re delighted to have teamed up with Josh, as he looks to progress towards a very exciting season.’
