Startlist: Circuit of Ingleborough TT

The Pendle Forest ‘Circuit of Ingleborough’ 26 mile hilly time trial takes place in Yorkshire on Saturday March 16th. The classic course, first used in 1990, is renowned for it’s brutal hill climb start. It has challenged the best with former winners including Gethin Butler, Hugh Carthy, Tejvan Pettinger and course record holder James Gullen.

This year, the event has attracted a much larger field than usual. The event organiser, Richard Bideau, himself twice a winner and British Best All Rounder in 2016, hopes the increased number of riders is a sign that interest in time trialling is reviving: “this year we have devoted a lot of energy to promoting the event, reaching out to riders who might not have known about it. It seems to have worked, we have a lot more entries than in recent years and I’m particularly pleased that we have attracted a large number of young riders. The road bike category has proved popular, about 40% of the total, that could also be a factor”.

In the women’s category Amelia Hanley is a possible winner but she could be hard pressed with a lot of strong talent including a big turnout from Solas Race Team, the Scottish Team for junior women. In the open event, 18 year old Maxwell Hereward looks like a strong contender as does John Bardsley, third in the Eddie Soens and 4th in the Clayton Spring Classic.

Others to watch for include Tristan Pilling showing similar talent whilst former winner Ben Stead has chosen a road bike this year – will it affect his chances? Super veteran Peter Greenwood, 72, who also competed in the first event in 1990, coming 6th with 1:09:34, adds to an impressive veteran field. Pendle Forest’s Jack Thomas will be first to be tested by the course, starting at 10:09 on Saturday morning.
