Report/Result: Ford CC Go Race 6
(thanks Caroline)

Ryan Savage’s well deserved promotion to 3rd cat led to his teammate James Samuel (Crest CC) taking over prime winning duties, convincingly taking both on offer on the night. The fight for the second prime led to a small break in the peloton with about 4 riders off the front with 5 laps remaining. One of those, Neil Hughes (Velo Schils Interbike RT) kept going and soon built up a small lead over the bunch.

There were numerous attempts made to bring him back, mostly led by his teammate Andrew Mc Murray, in his first race of the series. With just over one lap to go McMurray escaped the bunch, but could not catch Hughes, who took a well-deserved (and very rare on this circuit) solo win, his second in a row. McMurray stayed clear to make it a 1-2 for Velo Schils, with Colin McPherson (Traversbikes.com) back on form taking a close bunch sprint for 3rd.

With two races of the series left to go Mihai Popescu (Gateway CC) is leading the Seniors, Robin Baker (Cycle Club Sudbury) the Vets, and Jack Marshall (Barking and Dagenham CC) the Juniors. With the best 6 results counting it is still all to play for in the final two rounds.
