Cycling round-up: Morgan is a ‘Future Star’

Morgan will be competing in the first round of the televised Cycling Revolution Series in Manchester on Saturday.

He will get to taste the experience of competing in sell-out venues and get expert advice from the professional riders, team managers and coaches.

The Lutonian will also ride with his fellow Olympic Talent Team partner Joe Truman as part of the two-man Future Star team for Rapha Condor and they hope that their past experience of riding together will earn them a podium place.

Morgan will race in all five of the sold-out Revolution Series events. Manchester is followed by Glasgow on November 30, Manchester again on January 4 and February 1, with the series culminating with the re-opening of the Olympic Velodrome in London on March 14-15.
