Scarborough BMX rider Miller Temple has taken another step towards his Olympic dream after being selected to join British Cycling’s elite junior team.

The 17-year-old is one of only two boys and three girls selected for the squad who compete in the BMX freestyle discipline, an event in which Team GB took home women’s gold and men’s bronze at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

He has now gone full-time in the sport in pursuit of his ambition to represent his country at the 2028 Los Angeles summer games, travelling to some of the UK’s best skate and bike parks at least once a week, with travel and accommodation costs sponsored by Castle Employment Group.
