- Roach on Trophy Podium
- Steven Roach (Trek UK) got his cyclo cross season off to a flying start at the opening National Trophy last weekend.
- Roach proved one of the main protagonists around Pitville Park in Cheltenham as the Senior men�s event resembled a road race with the leading bunch circulating at a furious rate. Roach spent much of the race in the hunt for third overall, but his relentless chase of the leaders saw the Welshman drop back on the last lap to claim fifth overall and second Espoir (Under 23)
- Other Welsh results included a delighted Ben Roach (Rugby Velo) who stepped out of his brothers shadow to sprint into second in the Youth event ahead of Gareth James (Abergavenny RC) in 14th, whilst James�s club mate Gareth Walker took 7th in the under 14�s.
- In the Veterans event Phil Roach headed the Welsh challenge with 7th, whilst Graham Edwards took 5th in the over 50�s category. Claire Lines (Gateway RT) proved Wales sole female competitor, racing to 7th in the Women�s event. Full results from the event can be found on the British Cycling website HERE.
