Cycling: Bostock and Ribble Rebellion claim national series team title

Manx rider also finishes second in solo standings

Cyclist Matthew Bostock and Ribble Rebellion have taken one of the top prizes of this year's British Cycling National Circuit Series.

The Manx rider and the squad claimed first place in the team classification for the series following the seventh and final round - the Beverley Grand Prix Open - last Friday (26 July).

Ribble Rebellion completed the campaign on 713 points with Wheelbase CabTech Castelli in second on 625 with TEKKERZ CC in third with 571.

What's more, Bostock would go on to finish a strong second in the Open individual rankings on 314 points, only eight points behind eventual solo series winner Robert Scott of TEKKERZ CC (322).

Completing the top three in the individual table was Spectra Racing's Toby Barnes a little further back in third (258).

During a positive campaign, Bostock won four of the seven stages including a further two top-five finishes.

The 27-year-old joined Ribble Rebellion this season having previously raced for New Zealand-based side Bolton Equities Black Spoke which folded in late 2023.
