Dougie said: “It was a great experience to ride around the iconic Media City piazza and put myself to the test in a different setting. It served as a great warm up before I take to the diverse Cholmondeley grounds on the 13th and 14th June.”
James Hall, event director, added: “Dougie’s showcase really put the piazza in a different light and proved popular with passers-by of all ages. We look forward to seeing this great world-champion put his skills to the test again next week.”
To coincide with the Media City preview, organisers have also launched a special 20% discount, which applies to all tickets bought from 10am on June 3rd until midnight on June 5th. Simply quote CPOPMC
