The cycling events started early Monday morning (9th May) at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and it was a great start from Team UK taking Gold, Silver and Bronze in the Recumbent Cycling.

First up for Jaco, was the Road Time Trial where he incredibly raced to Gold, followed by Craig Preece who earned the Silver medal for Team UK.

Jaco’s next race was the Road Bike Circuit race, where he won a Silver medal and Craig got the Gold. All in all, incredible racing from Jaco and a great day for Team UK in the cycling events.
