Result: Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 2-day
(from Bob Richardson/Race Organiser)

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers held the second running of their 2 day stage race at the weekened. With the top 3 from 2018 all now racing as 1st cats, there would be a new winner of the event in 2019

Day 1
Despite the overnight rain and the murky conditions, the rain held off for both stages and we were rewarded with new best times on both the Prologue Hill Climb and on the Road Bike ‘10’ mile time trial. The Hill Climb up Colehill saw Kevin Chant from Wightlink-Wight Mountain CRT clocking 1 min 43 secs up a grippy lane where you never have the right gear. He was followed home by James Bevan (Army CU) in 1min 46s and Ben Millar (unattached) in 1 min 47s.

The afternoon’s 10 mile ‘road bike only’ time trial saw Paul Burton (Paceline RT) set the early marker time of 20 mins 46 secs but in the end it was only good enough for third with Stephen Swindley of Royal Navy & Royal Marines CA clocking 20 mins 34 secs to beat last year’s ‘record’ time of Tom Temple, as did Chris Owram (PDQ Cycle Coaching) only 1 sec back. Ed Slot (Sotonia CC) and Jon Woolrich (Velo Sport Jersey) also breaking the 21 minute barrier on the ‘rolling’ course.

Sundays 63 mile road race
This was was run on the ‘revived’ West Holme circuit, travelling along Bindon Lawn into Wool and then up the long drag to Newtown Hill, followed by the fast descent past Lulworth Castle before heading back towards West Holme. With a number of riders further back on GC after Day 1 chancing their arm to force a breakaway, the race was lively from the start.

Patrick Rucki (Sotonia), Oliver Winwood-Bratchell (VC Venta) & John Pritchard (unattached) being amongst the first to force a meaningful break: this built to over a minute and they were joined by Callum Dunford (Jam Cycling) George Skinner & Nick Tyrie (Primera) and Charlie Shields (Bath CC).

Dunford suffered an untimely puncture and had to ‘pack’ but the break maintained its minute gap for the first four of the six laps but began to break up by the final ‘prime’ and were being reeled in and eventually caught by the bunch. After a flurry of attacks, on the penultimate ascent of Newtown Hill, Brook Elgie & Ed Slot (Sotonia) along with Oliver Winwood Bratchell, tried to force another break, gaining a small advantage over the field. Slot’s high standing on GC meant he would never be given much leeway.

Winwood Bratchell’s constant attacking cost him dearly by the end but earned him the most aggressive rider prize. They were caught and the race was essentially together leaving Wool for the last few mile to the finish.

George Jones (Bikestrong-KTM) launched the first meaningful attack on the run to the finish but Newtown Hill is steep enough to mean a gap is not beyond and it was James Bevan (Army CU) who proved strongest and crossed the line first, followed by Ben Millar and Stephen Swindley (RN&RM CA) only a couple of seconds back in third, doing enough to secure his victory overall. The rest of the remaining 30 strong were not far behind but Newton Hill spread them over 30 seconds.

Chris Owram finished 8th and did enough to maintain his second place overall from Day 1, while Kevin Chant (Wightlink-Wight Mountain CRT) finished a place in front of him and managed to pull out the few seconds he need to dislodge Paul Burton (Paceline RT) from his third spot on GC
