Excellent day of racing at Stourport today (31st March 2012) with a record 202 riders
 |
There was an excellent turnout at the Wolverhampton Wheelers first circuit race of the 2012 season. A record number of 202 riders took to the start line of todays event. Early morning drizzle did not faze the young riders and saw an excellent solo ride from under 14 rider Ettienne Georgi, who claimed the prime and 1st place overall.
Kim Baptista held her own and beat her male opposition in the under 12 race to take an impressive 1st place. Great teamwork was displayed by the Wolverhampton Wheelers Under 16 boys – controlling the race from the beginning, to take a 1-2 on the podium. A fine solo effort by Callum Warrilow gaining him first place. Jessie Ansell joined her Wolverhampton teammate to take 1st U16 girl.
The Elite/1/2/3 saw a win from the rapidly improving James Ratcliffe of Freds RT, soloing to victory from Matt Higgins of Node 4 Girodana. Simon Holt of Raleigh-GAC took 3rd place in the bunch sprint. Following on from his daughter, Craig Ansell kept up the winning streak in the 3rd cats race, sprinting away from a break of 5.
Second place went to George Bate of MJS Racing who raced twice, also taking 8th place in the E/1/2/3 race.
Emily Kay, a regular winner in the West Midlands as a youth rider, continued her performance taking first lady in the Women and 4th cat event. Theo Merchant took first place overall in the same event.
