Imperial Winter Series Race 5
Hillingdon Cycle Circuit, 26th December 2006
There was another excellent entry on Boxing Day's Winter Series race with the welcome return of a previous overall winner in Bryan Taylor with some of his young proteges. A calm day meant there was tight racing at high speed with many attacks but none succeeding.
Late in the race James Butterworth (aka Bill) again made the vital attack which caused the split; however with 2 km to go it was Bryan Taylor with a brilliant burst of speed who caught and past the group with seemling ease and was joined by young future star Alex Paton.
The junior hung onto Taylor's wheel for a lap and gave him a hard time to the line but in the end Taylor's experience and strength came through. Daniel Rudd lead the main group to the line 11 seconds down, with James Butterworth a further 25 seconds down after his great effort.
