Report – Welwyn Wheelers Track League (June 12)
June 12 saw Welwyn Wheelers track league meeting Sponsored by Peloton Hatfield and supported by Herts County Council held with 26 senior riders and 19 youth riders taking part in fiercely contested racing.
The senior race program was cut short due to a very heavy down poor late in the evening which meant the 10 mile race could not be run.
The senior A racing was very open with wins for John McClelland (Bush Healthcare CRT) and Mike Broadwith (Artic Tacx RT) with Joshua Roberts (Zappis Racing Team) pushing them hard.
Ryan Green (Lee Valley CC) had another good night in the senior B’s picking up wins in the scratch and holding off the A riders for a win in the handicap.
Alexi Edwards (Palmer Park) rode strongly in the youth AB, with very strong rides winning the scratch and handicap.
The highlight of the race evening was the youth AB block pursuit which saw a great ride by
Christian Manzi (Lee Valley), Ollie Stockwell (Welwyn Wheelers) and Reece Pollen (Welwyn Wheelers), who held off a charging Alexi Edwards (Palmer Park) in a nail biting final half lap.
