2010 RIS Junior Tour of Wales

August 28-30, 2010 | Wales

Last weekend saw teambglobal’s junior, Chris Sherrifs riding the RIS Junior Tour of Wales. The race travels through the Counties of Gwent, Dyfed and Powys – through the spectacular scenery of the Brecon Beacons. Traditionally the race starts with a prologue time trial, with 3 road race stages and a circuit race. The final stage takes in the breathtaking climb of Tumble Mountain – a 5 mile climb of a 10 % gradient.

Chris had a steady start to the tour, but finished in a spectacular 4th place on stage five on the tumble. Well done Chris!
