Max Lewis, from Long Ashton, Bristol, is flying out to Bielsko-Biala in southern Poland this week in preparation for the competition.The teenager was just 12 years old when he tried mountain biking for the first time on the winding trails at Ashton Court.

Max said: "It's my first World Cup. I would love to win a World Cup and make a career out of it but I'm just going to have fun."

The season opener of the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup takes place in the Beskid Mountains between 16 and 18 May."If we had people who went to prison who didn't get drugs and weren't intimidated by serious organised criminals, they'd be far more likely to engage with a sentence and get well enough so that when they leave they don't commit further crime."

The government has commissioned an independent sentencing review to explore alternatives to prison in an attempt to ease overcrowding. The review will provide long-term solutions for the justice system and examine the use and composition of non-custodial sentences, including community alternatives to prison and the use of fines. Increased tagging will also be considered.The total number of people fitted with an electronic monitoring device in England and Wales on 30 June 2024 was 20,893, an increase of 17% on the previous year.

There are three types of ankle tags currently used to monitor offenders: alcohol, GPS, and curfew tags. A new study suggests tags that monitor curfews cut reoffending by 20%."We want them to have a one-way ticket - not a return back into prison or back into non-custodial sentences," Lord Timpson says.
