Report & Results – Brooks Cycles Track League (thanks Chris)

Although rain threatened throughout the evening it never came and a full program of events was completed. The Freewheelers league was a GO Ride racing night and although the numbers were down with the weather and also the school holidays the riders who attended put on some great racing with close finishes across all groups. After each group had done four races the medal winners were as afollows

Group 1 Gold l Aaron Mansell Lyme RC
Silver Brooklen Houlton Newcastle RC 2001
Bronze Bradley Heath Lyme RC

Group 2 Gold Chloe Shepherd Lyme RC
Silver Ruby Jennings Lyme RC
Bronze Amelia Perry Lyme RC

Group 3 Gold Nicholas Sandbach Lyme RC
Silver Owen Shepherd Lyme RC

The main league saw some great racing with a good turnout across all group. In the youth racing first year fixed gear rider Alistair Kennington ( Lyme RC) had a great night as he won the 200m TT, devil and was a member of the winning team sprint team. The other winner on the night in the youth category was another first year rider in Caleb Hill ( Lyme RC) won who the final 6 lap scratch. Special mention also to Farley Barber ( Lyme RC) who is the latest freewheeler to move up to the main league. He rode well on the night and it won’t be long before he is getting in to the points.

The Sprinters League saw a really close finish in the Neil Potter 500m handicap league where Tom Rotherham ( Sportcity Velo) came storming through to take the win from Max Gethin (Lyme RC) and Steve Cronshaw ( Brooks Cycles). The team sprint was won by Phil Houlton ( Brooks Cycles), Tom Rotherham and Joe Swinnerton ( Lyme RC) and the Sprint final went to Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cylces) who rode a fast last 200m time of 11.8 on a cold windy night.

The A Class endurance saw Joe Swinnerton win the 10 laps scratch, devil and points race to show he is a force to be dealt with this year in this league. The B Class events saw an equally dominant display from Rob Standring ( V Sprint race Team) as he won the 10 lap scratch, devil and points race. The only win he missed out on was the 10 mile scratch where sprinter Dave Smith ( Stafford RC) took a fine win.
