WEDNESDAY SPORT LIVE WITH RUSSELL AITKEN

Xander, a 12-year-old boy from Midlothian, was caught on camera outpacing professional riders in the Tour of Britain last weekend. He was even handed a water bottle by Dutch cyclist, Pascal Eenkhoorn, when the professionals eventually passed him as they raced towards the finish in Holyrood Park.

A video posted on the race's social media accounts had more than a million views within 24 hours.

Xander and his Dad will be talking to Wednesday Sport Live on 107.8 FM and online on Wednesday 15 September from 18:00pm.
