George Nolan & James Gullen winners at week 9 of the VanillaBikes.com Circuit Race Series at Salt Ayre (NW)
 |
From Nev Pearson, Salt Ayre Cycling Association
E/1/2 race 1 hour + 5 laps
After the usual early skirmishes a strong break of 6 riders formed and stayed away gaining around half-a-lap eventually. In the closing laps James Gullen (Team Hope Racing) decided not to leave it to a sprint and took off alone to finish with a good gap over the sprint for 2nd place, won by Neil Robinson (Lune RCC) whilst Jack Sadler (Vanillabikes.com) made a formality of the bunch sprint for 7th.
Thanks to Vanillabikes.com for sponsorship, Tony Sweeney and Geoff Newcombe for Commisairing, members of Kent Valley RC for marshalling, Dennis for manning the lap board, bell and flags and Kay Atkinson for running the sign-on and result desk.

A good break formed with some strong riders and it looked for a while like succeeding but it came down to a large bunch sprint with almost the whole field in contention and George Nolan (Clitheroe BC) again showed his sprinting prowess with a clear win. Jess Atkinson finished in the middle of the bunch to be best of the female riders.
