FUTURE PERFECT?

With U23 Academy and Podium Programme squads based at Manchester Velodrome, Jess Roberts often finds herself recruited into a Podium line-up in training and, says Team Breeze manager Chris Newton, “holding her own”. Pro team opportunities may well beckon further into the future, but for 2019 at least, the focus will be on helping her to develop as a whole, whether that be in the gym, on the track, road, or simply in a more general sense, as well as making the most of those opportunities to step up and ride with the Podium squad.
