Report – Brooks Cycles Track League

Two British squad riders shone at the latest round of the Brooks Cycles Track League on Thursday 11th June 2015.

Under blue warm skies, 2015 Paralympic World Champion Pete Mitchell ( Black Line Coaching ) won the Sprinters League Sprint Final in a close finish as he just got past local rider Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles).

The Sprinters League is getting stronger every year with the quality of riders increasing. With three specific Sprint events every week, sprinters get a good workout. The other sprint events were the Team Sprint which went to Barney Swinnerton ( Swinnerton Cycles), Jack Payne ( Sportcity Velo) and Joel Partington ( PM) in a quick 42.06 seconds.

The opening 500m handicap league event was won by Barnaby Davis ( PM ) from Martin Stephens a( PM) and Brian Fudge ( Brooks Cycles).

In the A class endurance races British ODP Squad member Matt Walls ( Velocity Global Bikes) won the 8 lap scratch, course de primes and was a member of the winning team pursuit team to take a hat trick of wins.

The other A class events were a longest lap event over one lap of the track which was won by Joel Partington and then in the last event of the night Joel went on to win the 10 mile scratch with a well timed sprint effort after a tough race.

The B Class races are starting to see the emergence of another strong youth A rider who is showing great promise for the future. James Duncalf ( Lyme RC) won all four B events in the 8 lap scratch, devil, points and 10 mile scratch as well as the B longest lap. James has come through from the successful Freewheelers league which shows the value of that competition.

The Youth league saw Megan Williams ( Newcastle RC 2001) do a great ride in the opening block handicap to take the win. Special mention in this event to first time rider at Newcastle Eve Black ( Eastlands Velo) who nearly held on to her long mark starting position but still came a great third place.

The other youth events were the 6 lap scratch won by Charlie Fisher ( Newport CC) and Tom Hughes ( Lyme RC) taking the devil. The team sprint went to Bradley Hill ( Lyme RC) Harry Brayford ( Lyme RC) , Megan Williams, Farley Barber (Lyme RC) Tom Hughes and Hannah Davis ( PM).

The opening Freewheelers League 20 riders took part with the top points scorers being as follows;

Group 1 Matthew Cuthbertson 10 points
Group 2 Cameron Oâ€™Neil 7 Points
Group 3 Evie Strachan 9 Points
