19 year old Peter Hitt, who rides for local team VC Meudon, got his season off to a cracking start with a win in the main Surrey League road race at Dunsfold on Saturday.

Surrey League road race Dunsfold
Hitt, who had already punctured in the morning 3rd category race, entered the main race at the last minute. Raring to go, he broke away from the peloton within a few kilometres of the start with two other riders who between them formed a lead of around a minute.
Midway through the race one of the three breakaway riders dropped back leaving Hitt and Stuart Bettis of Southdowns Bikes to hold off a chasing pack of eight riders for the remaining 30 miles.
Both riders buried themselves and held on to their slim lead with Hitt leaving enough in the tank to kick up the final hill and out-sprint Bettis to the finish line.
