Over the last month, British riders have been competing in Europe at the ‘Isicup’ series in Sweden and Denmark. These are world ranking competitions where you can find many top riders – including past World Champions – and our own riders have been getting fantastic results; leading pace events and getting into A and B finals!

Charlotte was also 2nd and 4th in the 250m pace race on Perla and Saela! What an achievement!
