Round 8 of the Apres Winter League belonged to Simon Brooks (VC St Raphael) at Brighton’s Preston Park Track.
![]() |
The VC St Raphael rider Simon Brooks firstly showed tactical nous by lapping the field alongside the aggressive Matthew Hull (Abellio SFA) & Jeremy Brougham (London Dynamo).
After a short breather, it was business as usual for Brooks who went on alone to gain another lap before attacking yet again for a fine solo victory, with Hull second and Brougham securing a podium place.
The 3rd Cat race saw Dan Thut (London Dynamo) achieve a win for the second consecutive week, after escaping with Kingston Wheeler’s Pat Wright to gain a lap on the bunch. Samuel Andrew (Kingston Wheelers) nabbed the win with a sprint finish in the 4th’s for a maiden victory.
The youths U12/14/16 was a close run thing with Patrick Manning (GYCC) pipping George Mew Jensen (Lea Valley Youth CC) at the death with a gritty 3rd place for the tenacious Isaac Wright of Preston Park Youth CC. There were also wins for an impressive Jack Webb (1st Chard Wheelers) in the U10’s and Daniel Allpress of Dorking CC in the U8’s races.
