Earlier on this year Capital Treasury Services (CTS), a subsidiary of the Capital International Group supported promising local cyclist Josh Knights in his first season on the international stage through the provision of funds for his travel expenses.

This year was Josh’s first year riding as a Junior (16-18 age group) and he showed great promise and continuous improvement throughout the season, culminating with his win in the Kei der Kempen Junior Road Race in Vorselaar, Belgium beating Dries Van Gestel, the current National Champion.

Josh, who is also part of the Mountivation Cycling Development Academy Team and who has been cycling for 9 years, advised CTS that he is looking forward to his winter break, where he can concentrate on improving in certain areas in readiness for the 2013 season.

John Cookson, managing director of Capital Treasury Services said: “we are delighted to see Josh’s hard work is reflected in his results and that our small amount of support has aided him in his cycling ambitions.  We feel it is important to champion local talent and through this boost the Island’s reputation for sporting excellence and raise its profile internationally”.
