Manx cyclist Matt Bostock has been named as one of the the six athletes who will represent Great Britain at the Paris-Roubaix Juniors, the first event of the UCI Juniors Nations’ Cup, on Sunday 13th April.
Matt Gibson, Joe Evans, Joe Holt, Gabriel Cullaigh and James Shaw will join Matt to race in the 12th edition of the event over a 110.8-kilometre course.
The route includes 16 cobbled sections, totalling 28.9-kilometres, and a finish at the iconic Roubaix velodrome.
Last year, Great Britain’s Tao Geoghegan Hart finished third, matching Jon Dibben’s result from 2012.
Since the junior edition began in 2003, two British riders have won the race - Geraint Thomas in 2004 and Andy Fenn in 2008.
