Amelia Sharpe will be competing in this weekend’s British National Senior Track Championships in the Manchester velodrome.

Fresh from her successful track debut for Great Britain in the Next Generation International Youth meeting in Holland, the talented 16-year-old Manx girl will be one of the youngest competitors in the event. Other Manxies riding are Ellen Barker, Matthew Draper and Matthew Bostock.

There is a world-class field lined up for the event, including a host of Olympic, World and European medallists such as six-time Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny.

The event begins on Friday and continues until Sunday evening.
