Cyclist aims high with Steam Packet backing

A cyclist from the Isle of Man says he will work "harder than ever" this year to reach his goals. 

Meltaltek rider Tom Mazzone will be taking part in an extensive race programme for 2017 which includes the British Cycling National Elite Road and Circuit Series. 

He's also hoping to ride for his home nation at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. 

This year the 23-year-old has won the backing of the Steam Packet Company which will cover the cost of his travel to and from the UK for off-Island training and competition during the year.
