Subway – Avanti’s Michael Vink has been selected in the New Zealand cycling team for the road cycling world championships being held near Melbourne later this month.
The talented young Christchurch rider has recently returned from a five month stint racing for a club team in Belgium.

Another Subway – Avanti under 23 rider James Williamson was unlucky to miss out on making the team.
