Brooks Cycles Track League July 22

Story posted July 26, 2010; by Chris Pyatt | Lyme Valley Stadium (Staffordshire)

After last weeks meeting was cut short due to rain, the forecast did not look good for the July 22 round of the Brooks Cycles Track League at Newcastle Staffs. The rain however never came and the good turnout of riders across all leagues saw a full nights racing. The highlight of the night was the “Neil Potter sponsored handicap league” where there was a blanket finish as the judges had their work cut out to place all six riders.

Coming from a back mark, A-Class leader Matthew Rotherham (Sportcity Velo) showed a great turn of speed to take a narrow win from the improving Tim Hull (Lyme RC) and Jess Wieckoski (Team Nemisis). Matt dominated the A Class events as he won the opening 8 lap Scratch and the 10 mile Scratch along with being a member of the winning Team Sprint team.

The B Class races saw Ryan Whatmough extend his lead in the overall table which now looks unassailable. He won the Course de primes and the 10 mile Scratch along with a second place in the Devil. Other B-Class wins came from Sam Birchall (Lyme RC) in the Devil and Neil Cummins taking the 8 lap Scratch. The youth events saw a great turnout of 17 riders with the Points spaced out over a large number of riders. Louis Preston (Lyme RC) won the opening 200m TT and Alex Braybrooke (Sportcity Velo) held on in fine style to take the block handicap race.

Joel Partington (Lyme RC) won the Devil and he was also a member of the winning team sprint team. The Freewheelers as usual produced some spirited riding with some great bike skills displayed from the young riders. Top points scorers in each league were as follows;

Group 1  Joel Partington  Lyme RC
