Wolverhampton Wheelers Track League

Story posted June 29, 2010, Dave Brookes | Event June 23

There was a larger field for the night’s racing with a lot more passion in that racing on an evening that was billed as a ‘Sprint’ night. The Freewheeler races, of course never lack passion and they did not disappoint with the Group A Sprint Handicap being particularly close: Joshua Horsfield taking first, Ben Hardwick second, Matt Lewis third, Georgia Hilleard forth and Seb Bacon fifth.

The Scratch races were a prelude to the Sprints and proved very entertaining with much changing of positions during the races as different riders put in great efforts and a variety of race tactics developed.  Martin Pockett from Halesowen took the Senior B final while Jack Hibberd from MJS Racing took the Senior A. 

After a series of one lap heats, the climax of the night’s events came with the Sprint finals. Jack Hibberd (again) took the Senior A race closely followed by Adam Lewis and Stephen Croggon took the Senior B event. The Youth races  provided their own form of excitement with Jack Escritt continuing to ride with crowd pleasing flair closely followed by his main rival of the night; Emily Nelson.

The finale of the evening was once again the 10 km Handicap with an Intermediate Sprint at 5 km.  The Intermediate was taken by Andy Jones who then went on to take a sixth place after the full 10 km.  Overall victory went to Jack Hibberd (yet again), second Jess Wieckowski and third Adam Lewis.
