Stuart is already part of his
regional senior team and set a UK
under-20 records when he won the
national Indoor Championships in
February. He is in the middle of
school exams but still found time to
compete in a local race. Before I went
to meet him there I asked Pauline
Wilson how I would recognise him,
‘Don`t worry. [ 5 | ], she
replied. And he was.
Pauline is in no doubt about
Stuart`s potential .’It`s very exciting
to see him improve ,’ she says. He is
certainly capable of being part of the
Olympic team one day. To reach that
level, it takes a lot of effort. [ 6 | ]
But he is only 16, so it`s really too
easy to say.’

hard to explain, though Pauline thinks
that it`s a combination of physical
advantages, self-discipline and
maturity. ‘I`m aware of what it takes to
reach the top.’ Says Stuart. It`s a long
walk, but he`s getting there.

H Stuart will be the one in the lead.

faster than most people could cycle
it.
