The E/1/2 race was brilliant explains Sally Maier (who took the pics here as well), co organiser of the event. “It’s the best race I’ve watched in months” says Sally. Dean Downing of NFTO won matching the win by his brother Russell the other week.
There was a break away of three early on which the wily and experienced professional Dean let go and sat nice and comfy at the back of peloton for more than half the race.
He then he decided it was time to go to work and chase it and took with him a small bunch. With 1 lap to go, the three were still away but were caught on the last lap as the bunch kick gained momentum with Deano winning.
The race explained Sally was fast from the start with several riders dropped on the second lap then others on almost ever other lap. Once dropped, no-one got back on and they either dropped out or got lapped several times Only 17 riders were not lapped and there were 19 riders finishing.
