Manx cyclist Peter Kennaugh together with Great Britain team mate Ben Swift is currently second overall in the Pro UIV Talents Cup in Rotterdam, despite winning on Sunday afternoon.

According to a spokesperson Bellis attracted the interest of the team prior to winning bronze at the under 23 Road Race World Championships in October.
