A Pedal Heaven 1/2/3 on a very tough day at Thruxton due to strong winds – 40mph down to 10mph in places!!
 |
A break of four went away immediately including Toby Eichler, then a chase group of seven formed and everything else split from behind. Toby Eichler eventually got worked over by the Pedal Heaven team. A very hard race for 3/4’s as the conditions took there toll. Eventually a group of six followed by a group of four and two further riders battling on valiantly. Dan Smith just pipped last weeks winner Tom Hayward with Sam Arnold in 3rd.
