Lanzarote warm-up for Horton

AN EAGER Tobyn Horton is looking forward to what he calls his 'second Christmas' in the space of a few weeks.

The Sarnian cyclist is currently in Lanzarote, training hard for the upcoming season when he will compete for his new outfit, Team Raleigh.

'I am likely to be here for a few more weeks until mid-January before I head to Nottingham to meet my new teammates and have a second Christmas picking up all my bits and bobs ready for the 2012 season to start,' Horton said.

It was during his time back in Guernsey after the 2011 season that he was busy trying to sort out his contract for this year.
