Biography

My name is Callum Twelves and I am a 18 year old racing cyclist on the road and track. This year my goals are to win a medal at the Junior National track championships and to secure myself a place in a foreign team for my first year in under 23. So far this year I have raced twice in Belgium in UCI 1.1 races and I have raced in Spain for a 3 day stage race in Murcia. At the end of July I am going to Bilbao in Spain for 5 days of racing which JHMT are supporting with the cost of travel. These days of racing will assist me with both of my goals as if I perform well it will open doors for joining a team in Spain next year, and it will put me in good condition for the junior national track championships which are 2 weeks after in Newport in Wales.

JHMT's Support

My aim of progressing in the individual pursuit at the national track championships is one that I have already had for a while. Although the championships are in August next year I have already started my preparations. I have had this target in mind from the week after the championships finished this year and to be able to to fulfil this goal would make my whole season a good one.It will be a massive help this year to have the support of JHMT as it will benefit all aspects of my cycling not only on the track.

Simon Taylor, Inspire Awards project lead said: ' We hope that this award will help allow Callum to become one of the next generation of cyclists that this country seems to produce and encourage him to maintain the massive effort required for this sport.'
