News: Racing resumes in Guernsey

As they haven’t had any new cases of Covid in Guernsey since April, and there are no known cases in the Bailiwick currently, the island moved to Phase 4 of their lockdown exit strategy last weekend which included the resumption of non-contact sports. We therefore resumed our road season with a 10 mile TT on our Cobo course which runs down the West coast of the island from Cobo Bay to the turn at Rocquaine and back the finish at Albecq.
The current course record is 19:55 held jointly by Seb Tremlett & James McLaughlin.
The field was split into two heats to satisfy maximum gathering size rules, with one on the Saturday morning and the other at the same time on Sunday. Weather conditions were pretty similar both days, warm and sunny with a gentle to moderate Easterly meaning a tailwind off the start line and block headwind on the way back round the final bay to the finish.
Fastest on Saturday was Seb Tremlett with a very creditable 20:02 given the foot down start, just outside his own course record. Marc Cox posted Sunday’s best time and the second fastest of the weekend with 20:23, whilst Trinity Racing’s Sam Culverwell recorded the third fastest time with 21.39 on a road bike.
Karina Bowie was top female with 23:54, fractionally missing her own course record of 23:53. Among the the HSBC/Ian Brown’s Cycle Shop Academy riders, top male was Thierry Le Cheminant with 23:12 and Kylie Vaudin was fastest junior female with 25:59.
It’s been an amazing team effort between the Club and the Guernsey Sports Commission to restart racing on the island this weekend, with Club President Mark Smith putting in the hours to ensure everything ran smoothly and in accordance with our local lockdown exit framework. It felt a little strange not having a minute man to chase down given that fastest riders went off first at two-minute intervals, but it was just a pleasure to be out in the sunshine racing again.
