MALVERN Cycle Sport stars Evie Richards and Hattie Harnden underlined their potential with an impressive month of racing.

Richards finds herself in third position in the Mountain Bike World Cup Under 23 Women standings after back-to-back second place finishes in Italy and Andorra.

The 21-year-old who rides for Trek Factory Racing then lined up against the country's best at the Mountain Bike National Championships in Hadleigh Park.
