BMX biking champion Ruby Moores is celebrating her first national title win, with some extra support from digger giant JCB to help her on the track towards Olympic dreams.
The 12-year-old Ormiston Horizon Academy pupil from Goldenhill, Stoke-on-Trent was crowned UK BMX National Series Female 14 champion at the National Cycling Centre, Manchester, earlier this month.
And for Ruby, who has stepped up an age group, the win comes hot on the heels of an action packed summer which saw her claim 5th place in the World Junior Championships in Glasgow, in August.
Ruby, who started competitive BMX riding at the age of eight, celebrated her national win with a helping hand from Staffordshire-based JCB who donated £500 towards travel costs.
