Bostock Wraps Up Series In Sheffield

Manxman in fine form

- Hugh Gladstone

For a rider who doesn’t really enjoy criteriums, Matt Bostock (Canyon-dhb-Bloor Homes) has shown a remarkable knack for the discipline. Last Wednesday in Sheffield, the Manxman was crowned the men’s national circuit series champion after winning all but one of its six counting events.

“I don’t consider myself that explosive,” he said. “I prefer a long, steady road race with a tough final.

“But I’ve found myself in a good bit of form. I’ve got speed from the track and strength from racing all year, and it’s just all come together.”
