National Trophy Round 3 – Scotland

Dutch rider Goss van der Meer and Katie Scott were the big winners at round 3 of the National Trophy CycloCross Series.

The final race of the weekend, Elite Men/U23, saw RST/Cycle Division rider Toby Barnes crest the course’s climb first time up with Ian Field, Goss van der Meer, Jenson Young, Steve James and Matthew Taylor in close attendance.

Van der Meer took over the lead at the top of the climb on lap two when Barnes left the door open on the off-camber drag and the pair opened a small gap of five seconds ahead of Field and Young. The next couple of laps saw the leading four testing push their bikes and rivals in the super-fast, dry conditions.

Van der Meer and Barnes remained just out of reach of Field but when Barnes faded slightly as the race dragged on, van der Meer opened a solo lead as Field closed in on Barnes. On the finish line, van der Meer won from Field and young Barnes.

Women
Josie Nelson (RST/Cycle Division) led this race away for the first half lap whilst behind her the race quickly developed into a battle between the various series’ leader’s jerseys with juniors Anna Flynn and Millie Couzens, Under 23 leader Sophie Thackray chasing hard along with Ffion James.

On lap one, Scott opened up a six-second gap out front whilst a chasing group of four formed with James, Flynn, Nelson and Couzens. Behind them, pre-race favourite Hattie Harnden was struggling to get on terms with the leaders. By mid-race, Scott’s lead was out to 18 seconds with James sensing a podium, closing in on Nelson in 3rd.

At the bell, Flynn got caught by the James/Nelson duo to form a chasing trio but Scott remained solo at the head of the race and took a very impressive first National Series Elite win with James outsprinting Flynn for second.

Junior Men
Day 2 was kicked off with the Junior Men’s race that saw Daniel Barnes storm off the line with series leader Rory McGuire chasing hard pursued by fellow Scotsman Corran Carrick-Anderson and Simon Wylie.

Barnes and Carrick-Anderson forced open a gap of around 13 seconds by mid-race with two chasing pairs, Wylie and McGuire, and, a further 10 seconds back, Joe Blackmore (Rotor Racing) and William Truelove. As heavy rain started to fall and surface conditions got a little greasy, neither Carrick-Anderson nor Barnes pitted for a bike change and, going into the final lap, the gap was around 30 seconds to the newly-formed group of three chasers pursuing the final podium place; Truelove, Wylie and Blackmore.

On the final climb Carrick-Anderson managed to ride clear while Barnes was forced to dismount and a gap of three seconds opened. Carrick-Anderson extended that slightly between there and the line for a very popular, local win with Barnes in second and Wylie sprinting to third to round out the podium.

Day 1

Veterans
The racing kicked off on day one with the Veteren Men’s 50 plus category where previous round winner Nick Craig made a decisive early break, with series leader Pete Middleton, Murray Swanson, Mark James, Simon Hale, Tim Davies and Andrew Peace initially keeping the leader in their sights but Craig consolidated his lead mid-race and converted it into a second straight series win.

In the Veteran men’s 60+ category, Robin Delve consolidated his series lead by winning after an initial skirmish with main challenger Roy Hunt and Barry Kipling ).

The Veteran 40-49 race was dominated by Adrian Lansley, again, who, in typical fashion, opened up a small a gap by the end of lap one, then spent most of the race extending it to take his third consecutive series win. In the Women’s Vets event, there was a hat-trick of wins for Kate Eedy ahead of British champion Helen Pattinson with Lucy Siddle third.

Youth Girls
Maddie Cooper and Libby Bell were the leading riders in this category, Cooper attempted to go solo but it was Bell who opened up the first significant gap before by running out of steam on the last lap and getting overhauled by Cooper who won from Bell and Carrick-Anderson.

In the U14s, there was yet another hat-trick of series wins, this time for Carys Lloyd. She hit the front on lap two after an early battle with Aine Doherty. Doherty dropped back to third on the final lap as Lucy Glover, who had always kept in touch during the race, finished strongly to overhaul her for second.

Youth Boys
After a big group of around 15 riders quickly formed at the head of the race, by lap two, the size of the group kept yo-yoing between six and a dozen riders as the pace increased and riders started to drop off, and get back on again. With two laps to go the race resembled a road race as all riders took turns on the front with no-one seemingly able to break the elastic and establish a solo lead.

Deep into the last lap, Sebastian Grindley, wearing the series leader’s jersey, attacked just before the technical descent into the sand and opened up a slender lead to take his second consecutive victory ahead of a fast finishing sprint won by Finlay Tarling ahead of round one winner Alfie Amey.

The U16s race saw a repeat of the previous round as Oli Akers made a first-lap attack that saw him open a gap on a small chasing group, until series leader Max Greensill emerged to join Akers in a two-man break. Joe Smith and Nathan Smith formed a two-man chase group but were unable to bridge across until Smith managed to ride away to challenge the two leaders.

In the latter stages, Akers once again found the energy to launch another attack to finish solo, some 20 seconds ahead of Greensill.

VET 40 MEN

Rider Chat – Adrian Lansley – Winner of the Vet 40 Men’s Race

Course Conditions – “A lovely surprise today. Quite unbelieveably after yesterday’s rain, it was quite bone dry here. The wind and sandy soil helped so I was running an intermediate tread on the bike and that was perfect. Now, as we got to the end of the race on the corners, the grass is going, the moisture is coming through and I was kind of sliding out. It will be really interesting now what the Youth riders make of it.”

Asked what tyres the riders in the races following his should be on, Adrian says “its a conundrum now, there probably is no right tyre. It’s still dry enough on the straights where you don’t want any drag so I think you have to put up with being on the edge a bit and be a bit more patient on the corners and get the braking done early and let the bike run through it, don’t force it and that is probably the fastest way to go.”

“May be put something grippier on the front because the back isn’t an issue, it’s just the nose of the bike is running wide on corners and as soon as it goes, it really goes and you have get that foot down or you’re in trouble.”
