Cycling: Bostock nominated for national champion of the year

Manxman one of six riders on British Cycling shortlist

Isle of Man professional cyclist, Matthew Bostock has been nominated for the British Cycling National Champion of the Year award for 2026.

The Manxman is one of six competitors in contention for the accolade along with Charlie Aldridge, Erin Boothman, Tracy Moseley, Callum Russell and Jordan Williams.

Voting has opened for people to select the individual they believe should win the prize with those wanting to cast a vote invited to leave a comment on the British Cycling Facebook post or submit their choice via the online form.

The winner will be announced at the British Cycling Awards night which is due to take place on Saturday, 14 November.

Bostock has enjoyed a stellar campaign so far this year which includes securing gold in the Men's Scratch Race at the 2026 UCI Track World Championships in Shanghai earlier this month and also taking gold whilst representing the Isle of Man in the Men's 40km Points Race at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in August.

Outside of those, he's also claimed several British titles on the track and took top spot on the roads in three races in June - the City of London Nocturne; Colne Grand Prix and the Open race at the 2026 British National Circuit Championships.
