Ryan Visser puts a stop to Simon Brooks winning run at round 5 of the Apres Winter Series at Preston Park in Brighton
![]() |
Another crash free set of races here at Preston Park was crowned by a resurgent Redhill CC’s Ryan Visser in the E/1/2/3 taking the honours this week from Simon Brooks.
A well timed early break from, you guessed it – Simon Brooks was well spotted and soon joined by Ryan Visser. The two working together lapped the field a few times before Ryan took the sprint from the final corner. Matt Butt took the sprint for third.
Good safe racing this week again with Preston Park gaining a good reputation for interesting, aggressive races. Muhammad Ali would have had nothing on Mo Hamed in the 4ths race, a fantastic display from an increasingly strong rider taking it on from twenty minutes out and soloed to victory breaking the hearts of the chasing pack.
We love to see riders who understand that to win races you have to be prepared to lose and Mo has had a go the last two weeks, getting stronger each time. He who dares Rodders…
In the 3rds a three man break stayed away with 20 to go with Bechenham Rugby Cyclists Jonnie Blackman taking the sprint from Motivo Rt’s David Billings and Southborough’s Keith Henderson 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Isaac Wright from Preston Park YCC is showing he is really growing into a rounded road cyclist, again taking the win the week from LVYCC’s Matthew Sheperd. A good aggressive race with plenty of digs from Isaac showing he has a rare thing in cycling at any age – a willingness to have a go and regroup, rethink and execute plan B. Nice. Jack Webb showed you had to be in it to win it winning the under 10s.
