Manilla Cycling Hartlepool Carnival RR including NE Circuit Race Champs
Thanks Marcus
Attacking early, he was part of a 5 man break including Dan Smith (TS Racing-Vankru), Will Brown (Achieve-Skinnergate Racing) Ben Hetherington (Achieve-Skinnergate Racing) and Matty Cooper (NRG Cycles). Cooper was struggling, dropping back to a 5-man crack counter attack, including pre-race favourite Harry Tanfield (KTM), previous champion Richard Meadows (NRG Cycles), Mathew Kipling (Velo29) and the Achieve riders Jack Rees and Thomas Timothy.
The junction was made, largely due to the high Wattage riding of Tanfield, but Grieve had no wish to be sprinting out the trophy with the fast legs of Tanfield and responded immediately with a heavy attack over the prime line. The ever present Smith, and the Achieve duo of Brown and Hetherington were quick to spot the danger, but incredibly, the small gap was never closed.
The onus was on for the Achieve pairing to ride, but Grieve was more than their match, increasing his advantage each lap to an impressive 25 seconds under the chequered flag. The sprint for the silver was taken with ease by Brown, the bronze being more of a lottery, with a mightily relieved Smith realising there was space for his name on the podium. A further 20 seconds behind, a disappointed Tanfield led home the best of the rest for 5th.

MASTERS
Masters C + favourite and defending champion Shaun Tyson (Adept Precision/NE HealthCare) was again in imperious form, forging an early three man break with Martin Hopkinson (Fietsen Tempo) and Ian Hessler (Ferryhill Wheelers). Taking no chances in a sprint finish, he opened up the gas the last two miles, distancing first Hessler and then Hopkinson to celebrate a lone victory. The minor placings behind were taken by a lone attack from Chris Fewtrell (unattached) with the strong man Dave Williams (Cleveland Wheelers) taking the bunch sprint.
