We heard on Manx Radio sport yesterday of the great news Jonny Bellis is to return to competitive cycling at the end of the month, just over nine months after receiving life threatening head injuries in a scooter crash.
The 21-year-old Manxman is set to line up for his Saxo Bank team at the British National Road Race Championships on June 27th.
I caught up with Jonny on the phone following a session at his Quarratta training base in Italy, where he's stepping up his programme on the bike before the end of the month:
