The Army go on the attack in the Darley Moor Women’s Team Series won by Elizabeth Jane Harris (Army CU) from teammate Chanel Mason
Report – Women’s Team Series
(from Jon Miles)
With a 1 – 2 in the Women’s Team Series penultimate race at Darley Moor the Army CU have shown all year what can be achieved by genuine team tactics where a rider never
ends up just chasing licence points can be put aside for the good of the team
Organised for the Ashfield RC by Arthur Gentle, with this to be his last race organsiation after 41 years, this closed circuit race always lends itself to good racing especially when the wind blows, as it did today making it a tough course.
Sadly there were only 34 riders facing the starter from the 22 teams that paid to be registered with the Team Series (why?) but after the settling down few laps Chanel Mason, Army CU and  Anna Marie Hughes, Bonito Squadra Corse attacked but Anna Marie was soon dropped as Chanel plowed on using her strength but the vigilant bunch gradually drew her in but no sooner had that happened than two other Army CU riders had a go but it was shortlived.
However this did act to force 4 riders to get away Jennifer Powell, EliteVelo-Elizabeth Jane Harris, Army CU and Elizabeth Steadman, Fusion RT with Bethany Taylor, Bonito Squadra Corse getting with them later with 8 laps to go.
They had one laps freedom and it was all over; then the main attack of the day went when the Army CU duo just rode clear and gradually gained tyhose vital seconds until crossing the fnish line they had 45 seconds in hand. The bunch sprint was won by Lucy Shaw, Matrix.
