Report – Moreton Race 6
(from Eamonn Deane – more here including photos)
Jay Eastwood scored his fifth win at Moreton winning a scrappy sprint from Matt Hill (Primera-UK Biking) just as Brazil were kicking the World Cup off against Croatia.
Eastwood, nursing a fractured wrist from a fall in the Shaftesbury Criterium at the weekend, still had enough confidence to bully his way to the front of the congested pack.
However, there was no victory salute, caution triumphs over ego once you are past 40! The sunlit pursuit brought the race together with 3 laps to go, Pete Bielby (Primera-UK Biking) and Matt Mildon (Mud, Sweat ‘n Gears) enjoyed a brief moment of freedom before being swept up; if you cannot sprint you have to find a way to win, just keep knocking on the door!
Steve Dring (Primera-UK Biking) always knocks on the last lap but has yet to get an answer. You would put your house on Eastwood winning the Moreton World Cup, you might risk a shilling on England winning the FIFA version but we live in hope!
