Report – Moreton Race Series

Jason Gault (Bournemouth Jubilee Wh) won round two of the Ride Moreton race series, finishing a bike length clear of the more established names. Gault, a winner from the blue group last year, has worked hard over the winter, stepped up to the scratch group and will be a threat for the overall.

Fifteen year old Ed Hatfield (UK BIKING) grabbed second in an exciting sprint finish that saw prolific winner Jay Eastwood boxed in with nowhere to go. Hatfield has been winning the U16 races at Goodwood for fun and he showed little respect the wiser older legs & wiser heads at Moreton, cheekily going off the front as the race came together with two laps to go. (It did not work this time but it will!)

James Horton (Primera-sport.com) has been off the bike with a virus but just held off series organiser Steve Dring (UK BIKING) to take third place. A full field of sixty enjoyed a perfect spring evening deep in the Dorset countryside followed by tea & cake in the newly opened village hall. On line entry is already open for next week’s race and also for the new, Women only mini-series. Starting at 18:40, twenty minutes before the men, the four race competition will run throughout June.
