Introducing...
Every month, we introduce one of the Kingston Wheelers now it's the turn of Cedric Klassen for January 2006. The son of Teddington-based Thorsten Klassen. With his father a former member of the German national cyclo-cross squad, Cedric's clearly inherited some talent. Stricly speaking, Cedric was the club's most successful rider in 2005 since he won more races than Yves Millière, James Beaumont and Chris Salt put together!
All this and he's only six years old and races against older boys in the Under-8 category. One to watch...
