PETE Kibble enjoyed a successful trip to Holland, where he competed in the Alkmaar International Track Event for Wales.

The 17-year-old was one of eight junior men and women selected to race and the event provided an opportunity for the junior squad to face the pressure of high level competition riding against the very best riders in Europe.

The two-day event also offered a full programme of track racing for the cyclists, which included bunch races, individual pursuits and team pursuit events.

Kibble was fifth in the eliminator race out of 24 riders, before he recorded a personal best time in the individual pursuit and was part of the four-man pursuit team that broke the Welsh record.
