Team Ashton Rider Ben Savage has today qualified for the UCI World Championship Elite 20-inch final in Italy. This is no mean feat, in fact Ben is the first UK rider to ever achieve this result.
“I woke up to blazing Sunshine; I felt a bit disapointed because I saw wet weather as an advantage. However after the first lap I was still really in the mix. During the second lap I really found form and came in on 13 marks, just two behind hot favourite Benito Ros (Spain) who finished top in the qualification. That placed me well within the top eight in joint forth position and i’m now very confidant of my chances in the final.”
