Manxies in Manchester

Manx Cyclists Jonny Bellis, Mark Christian and Peter Kennaugh are competing in today's (Wednesday) 40kms Points Race at the British National Track Championships at the Manchester Velodrome.

Bellis is fresh from making history last week when he claimed Great Britain's first medal at the World Road Race Championships since Graham Webb won the title in 1967 - he took bronze in the under-23 event.

The quality of the field shows the current strength in British cycling with the Isle of Man trio up against the likes of Rob Hayles, David Millar, Chris Newton and Bradley Wiggins.
