Coach Joe Cadwallader said he was well-respected as a cyclist and mechanic. Aidan became the 25-mile time trial UK junior champion last year. The teen was also a mentor to others on the team and will be "very much missed". Cadwallader added: "He never judged anyone, and always supported others. "Aidan has been part of 360 [Cycling] for over three years. "During that time he has developed as a person, man, and rider, to a level few of us ever achieve.
"2024 saw some amazing rides from the boy that set out a clear example of what a young person can achieve with the right determination.". Aidan, from Lancashire, was a talented BMX rider as a kid and later moved into road racing. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
