Saved by an eleventh-hour rescue from Aero CLCTV, the Royal Navy Cup returns to the exposed tarmac of RNAS Merryfield on Saturday 7 March. Our preview breaks down the fast, flat airfield circuit, the threat of brutal crosswinds, and the prime contenders hunting for National B glory.
Aero CLCTV have officially launched with a six-rider line-up and a bold, five-year plan: to race their way to the Tour of Britain while helping rebuild British cycling from the ground up.
Graduating in the summer and already juggling a hill climb on ZigZag Hill, the launch of Aero CLCTV, and the dream of a new Nat B in Dorset, Elliott Colyer is part of a new generation of riders who aren’t waiting for British Cycling or veteran organisers to act — they’re taking matters into their own hands, reshaping the domestic scene with a mix of DIY spirit, business nous and Instagram savvy.
