In a preview of the challenging Dragon Ride cyclo-sportive, CyclingWeekly.com put out a call for a 14-21 year-old, Welsh-speaking cyclist to be coached by Magnus Backstedt as part of a television series.

Said race organizer: “The Dragon Ride Wales is one of the toughest single day challenges in the UK and it’s fantastic that someone will get the opportunity to learn from a rider as successful as Magnus.”
