A welcome return to a bright sunny day with a fresh rising wind.

A full field in the 4th cats kicked the day off with Alan Nixon (Amersham RCC) and Christophe De Belder (VC10) attacking early on, but the main bunch remained tight.

Several other attempts came including a strong but vociferous drive by eventual winner Robin Mould clearly setting out his intentions; the London Dynamo squad continue to control from the front, but a lone (unintended?) attack from Rob Mosley (Thames Velo) strung the field out before another attack by Dynamo rider Alexander Evangelidis calmed things down.

In the closing stages of the 50 minute race there were further flurries by James Spackman (London Dynamo) and team mate Mark Davison but in the sprint Robin Mould (Velosport Racing Team) took a clear win with time to raise his hands off the bars, annoying the Commissaire in the process! John Freeman and Alex Woods followed him in with Chris Jubb just missing the podium.

Jennifer Crouch of London Dynamo wins the Imperial Cycles random prize and can look forward to her bike having a thorough spruce up at Imperial Cycles in Isleworth!

The E/1/2/3 Race took on a new complexion with dominant force Jake Martin away on a Winter training camp but the start remained fast with WyndaMilla’s Patron, Henry Furniss starting the action cheered on by Nasima fresh from finishing the previous race.

The riders causing the acceleration – Graham Crow (Twickenham CC), Mike Brewer (London Dynamo), James Norris (High Wycombe RT) and Robert Seeley (Brixton CC) lined things out but the strength of Rory Townsend (Pedal Heaven), Lawrence Carpenter (Catford Equipe Banks) and Jo Skelton (Look Mum No Hands) was clear.

It very quickly changed with a decisive action from Crow and Furniss who moved away and steadily built a decent lead. Carpenter saw the danger and moved across to the duo, seemingly with ease, and although at one stage the gap diminished to a few seconds following pressure from the group, it eventually fizzled out.

With 6 laps to go Carpenter stepped it up a notch to leave Crow and Furniss to consolidate their efforts for the podium. Crow finished in a hard earned 2nd with Furniss 3rd. Norris won a tight sprint for 4th narrowly beating Townsend and Vince Halpern.

Next race (9 of 11) Saturday 25th January 2014. All the 4th Cat races are fully booked for the rest of the series.
