In a season that has seen him progress from the Towy Riders Club and on to the sponsored East Wales M&D Cycles/Kinetica team for 2012, Davies has showcased his talent in exceptional fashion.
2012 has seen him crowned, British Junior Time Trial Champion, Welsh Junior Time Trial Champion at both 10 and 25 miles, and silver medals at the National (RTTC) Junior Time Trials, again at both 10 and 25 mile distances.
His prowess against the clock was complemented by a series of wins and top-three results at road races both in Wales and further afield, results that saw him selected for the Welsh junior road race team competing at home and in Belgium and Germany.
Meanwhile, Bryngwyn, Llanelli, schoolboy Joe Holt, who has ridden the 2012 season on both the road and track for the Team Tredz Development squad, will be a part of British Cycling's Olympic Talent Team as of this Saturday, being mentored and coached by the British Cycling team of coaches and exposed to racing abroad.
This is a terrific opportunity for the 15-year-old, whose talent has seen him progress from the Bynea Cycling Club and on to the Tredz Development squad, coached by his father and mother, John and Tina Holt.
Both riders have shown their quality in what is an exceptional pool of young talent in West Wales, an area that is benefiting from the upsurge in interest created by the Beijing and then the London Olympics.
