After long deliberation, and intense traveling to witness their progress at races all over the country to study their characters, and their ability to communicate with me, I am happy to announce the 4 successful graduates (Belgian summer racing with guest families) and the 12 bursary holders for 2022. This was not an easy decision as this year had an exceptional batch of talented riders entered (56 in total)
