CYCLING ace Jason Kenny is looking forward to the build up to the Olympic trials later this year after being part an awesome series of performances by the Great Britain track cycling team in Manchester.
The 20-year-old from Farnworth enhanced his reputation with a stunning fifth place finish in the individual sprint at the Track Cycling World Championships.
He beat silver-medal winning Brit Ross Edgar - the perfect response from Kenny, after earlier being out of the team event in favour of his more experienced rival.

But the youngster is under no illusions about the work he still has to do to remain part of a squad which bagged nine gold medals.
"It was a very pleasing result," said Kenny. "I'm not really thinking about my position in the team too much. I'm concentrating on getting better."
And he paid tribute to Chris Hoy, who proved to be the class act in the men's keirin event and established his individual spring credentials with a historic win.
"He's an incredible role model," said Kenny. "His quality shone through in the end.
"I'm excited about what's going on really, there's a huge buzz throughout the country and it's just pleasing to be part of it."
Kenny is now relaxing with light training to keep his fitness levels high ready for the hard work of preparing for the Olympic trials.
