Bellis receives support boost from Foundation

Star cyclist Johnny Bellis has received fresh support for the coming year from the Sport Aid Foundation.

The 2008 Olympian suffered a horrific accident in Italy three years ago and is continuing his journey back to full competitive health.

The Douglas man now races for Belgian-based AN Post and is aiming to get back to the kind of form that got him to Beijing.

Sport Aid chairman Gary Corkill explained it was unusual for someone who had reached professional level to return to the programme, but they had received a request and had no hesitation in helping him once more.

Bellis said he was very thankful to Sport Aid and the support would make a huge difference to his recovery.
