Two Hillingdon Slipstreamers got themselves on the podium at the first round of the British Cycling National Youth Championships.

Joe O’Brien, nine, and sister Bobbie, eight, achieved superb second-placed finishes in the opening round at Hetton, near Sunderland.

The championships are the proving ground for future Olympians and featured the top 50 riders in the U10s age category.

The pair will also represent their UK club at the European Youth Championships in Holland later this Summer.
