EVESHAM’S Aimee Lane kept up her lead of the West Midlands Youth Circuit Series for under-12 girls after finishing second behind an older Scottish national champion in Shrewsbury.

The 11-year-old St Egwin’s Middle School pupil claimed full regional points with a strong performance in an exciting race on a closed circuit in the Mid Shropshire Wheelers event.

Lane is looking forward to her next contest on Saturday, June 27, at Tudor Grange Park, Solihull, hosted by Redditch Road and Path Cycling Club.

Lane, who races for Wyre Forest, is now being supported by Birmingham civil engineering company Fitzgerald.
