Develop the skills, strength and racecraft to succeed

At Clancy Briggs, we believe racing success starts with skills—not just speed. Our weekly race coaching sessions in Doncaster are designed to give young riders the tactical edge, technical ability and confidence needed to compete at every level of the sport.

Our sessions aren’t just led by qualified coaches—they’re led by former professional riders who’ve competed at the highest levels, including the Tour of Britain, National Circuit Race Championships, and top-level road and track events across Europe. This means every session is grounded in real-world racing knowledge, with a focus on what truly makes the difference in competition—bike handling, positioning, tactics, and decision-making under pressure.

Held at the purpose-built, traffic-free Doncaster Dome cycle circuit, our race coaching runs every week throughout the year.

• In winter, sessions are floodlit, keeping the momentum going even when the nights draw in.
• In summer, we make the most of longer evenings with extended sessions and more race-specific drills.

This consistency helps riders stay sharp, develop over time, and build towards their race goals with clarity and structure.

We currently offer two distinct weekly race coaching sessions to suit different ages and experience levels:

👉 Saturday Morning Race Class
🕒 11:15 – 12:15
📍 Doncaster Dome Cycle Track
 A great place for younger riders (suggested ages 8–14) to get started with racing. These sessions focus on fundamental race skills, confidence building, and fun—all within a safe, supportive group environment. It’s the ideal gateway into racing and provides the perfect foundation for those looking to progress further.

👉 Wednesday Evening Race Development
🕕 18:00 – 20:30
📍 Doncaster Dome Cycle Track
Designed for older, more experienced riders (suggested ages 10–18) ready to take their racing to the next level. These longer sessions include technical drills, race simulations, tactical coaching, and conditioning work to build performance under pressure. We see this session as a natural progression from our Saturday class, forming a clear development pathway for ambitious youth riders.

We don’t just ride fast in circles. Our coaching places huge importance on skills-based development—because it’s the little things that make the biggest difference on race day. From cornering techniques and group riding drills to race simulation and sprint positioning, every session helps riders build their tactical toolbox, physical conditioning and mental sharpness.

Our Doncaster race coaching is more than just weekly training—it’s a key stepping stone into the Clancy Briggs Youth Race Team. If your child is driven to race competitively, our team offers a structured, supportive environment where they can take that next step, accessing top-tier racing opportunities across the UK.
