Report: Moreton Village Circuit Race Series

Eamonn Deane reports … Jason Eastwood (Hargroves Cycles) was a comfortable winner in race 2 of this 13 race, kermesse series. Eastwood, who won the overall title, last year, was part of a strong scratch group that quickly caught the handicap groups in front.

A healthy field of 65 started in bright evening sunshine and from the gun, ambitious riders, who perhaps should have known better, was being shelled out of a fast moving scratch group. The race all came together with 3 of the 10 laps remaining, the flat 3 mile circuit usually produces a sprint finish and tonight would be no exception.

With teammate, Stuart Bowers pulling powerfully on the front, Eastwood sat in the wheels biding his time. The time came and the bunch were left to squabble over the minor placings. Roland Tilley (Ridebike.co.uk) 2nd and Andrew Boyd (Revo Racing) 3rd were the bridesmaids this time.
