Young rider and KCC Committee member Euan Mason has big news - he's been signed by Zappi U-23 Academy (a development neo-pro team) for the 2024 season.  Euan will have the chance to ride in almost 60 races, while based at the Zappi Cycling Hotel in Riolo Terme, near Imola, Italy.  Euan will rub shoulders with young riders from across the world, as part of the development team which has 17 members. 

While Zappi will be an amazing opportunity for him to live, train and race across the European circuit, the costs involved are for his airfares, accommodation and living costs for the year.   So Euan still needs to find some money for general costs.  Euan's family has launched a Givelittle page to help.  Many Club members will know the 17-year old student has been working to earn pocket-money to fund his cycling for several years and currently works part-time at Evo in Paraparaumu.  

If you can help in any way, helping him achieve the most out of this amazing experience. Every little bit helps. Thank you
