CX Result: Shimano Lazer WMCCL Round 1

Xan Crees and Ben Askey two of the many winners at Mid Shropshire Wheelers Shimano Lazer WMCCL at Shrewsbury

CX Result: Shimano Lazer WMCCL Round 1

Promoted by Mid Shropshire Wheelers round 1 of the Shimano Lazer West Midlands Cyclo-Cross League took place at Shrewsbury Sports Village on a dry and super fast course.

The weather forecast was for rain all day but the closest we got was a lightning start from home junior Rebecca Woodvine in her first senior race. The race of the day for many was this Women’s race and not just for the quality of racing at the front but the many new faces and the Mexican wave every time Newport CC riders passed by the finish straight.

At the end of lap1, Xan Crees had reeled in Woodvine with World Masters Champion Ceris Styler in close attendance. Styler soon made her way to the front, Woodvine unable to hold the incredible pace of Styler and Crees settled for third with Crees locked doggedly to Stylers rear wheel. It all came down to a last lap showdown with Crees making her move on the front of the race into the final switchbacks before kicking onto the short home straight and despite Styler best efforts to get on terms it was Xan Crees who took a well deserved win.

Senior Male race winner was Ben Askey, briefly challenged by Simon Wylie who mysteriously slipped back many places on lap 5 before working his way back to claim second place ahead of Shrewsburys Jon Brain.

Chesters Nick Whitley took a solid win in the V50 race from Shrewsburys Mike Jones who held off a late change from Stephen Knight who demonstrated his trademark slower start and negative splits to podium. Grant Johnson held a slim lead throughout from the legendary Chris Wreghitt with Kirby Bennett in third in the V60s.

Mid Shropshire Wheelers Alex Hart took an emphatic win in the Youth A race, a fantastic start was built on lap by lap to finish almost a minute clear of Ted Taylor and Samuel Greenwell. Mid Shropshire Wheelers took a double of Youth boys wins when Youth B Noah White got on the top step followed by Finley Storrie and Ben Allen. Zoe Parker and Rose Lewis finished seconds apart to win the Youth A and Youth B races respectively with Briony Roberts and Jess Bufton completing the podium places in Youth A and Heidi Roscoe and Rose Neely Youth B.
