The Ottershaw Series, now in its 24th year, had its first round last weekend with a win for Adam Cotterell
On a fine sunny Autumn day, a full field entered the Twickenham CC/Surrey league race over a distance of 90 km using three courses around Chobham, notably the finishing circuit on Staple Hill which did not entirely split the field.     However, there was a very early breakway in the first five kilometres of Andy Betts (Sigma Sport) and Adam Cotterell (WyndyMilla) who stayed clear for 35 km and held the peloton at around a minute. It finally came down to a bunch sprint up Staple Hill and in spite of Adam Cotterell’s early break, he had the strength to win comfortably from Lewis Atkins, last year’s overall winner, and Italian celebrity Fabio Zappi of Team Zappi.
