Report: Chris Pyatt
The latest round of the Brooks Cycles Track League took place on Thursday 23 August 2012 at the Lyme Valley Velodrome in Newcastle. The night saw a great turn out of B Class riders with a large field contesting the four race programme.
The dominant rider of the night was George Edwards ( Lyme RC) who won the 8 lap scratch, along with the final 10 mile scratch. Robert Standring (V Sprint Racing) also had a good night as he won the devil along with two second places in the 8 lap scratch and the 10 mile.
The A Class endurance races saw impressive rides by 2011 Champion Robert Lambton ( Brooks Cycles) who won the 8 lap scratch, the devil and the final 10 mile scratch to score 12 1/2 points on the night.
The sprint events saw Steve Cronshaw ( Brooks Cycles) ride to an impressive win in the two up time trial with teammate Phil Houlton. Phil then went on to win the sprint final ahead of Steve Cronshaw with Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles)in third. The four up team sprint event saw the win going to Sean Mayer, Louis Preston ( Goldtec) Joel Partington ( Sportcity Velo) and Sassan Emadi ( Tunstall Wheelers).
The Youth field was small this week, however, there was some close racing over the four events with Joe Swinnerton ( Lyme RC) winning the 200m time trial, scratch and the devil.
The Freewheelers League continues to grow each week with six more riders registering, taking the total number to 77. One of the new riders, Ben Meir made an impressive debut in winning two events in Group One to score 7 points on the night. All the three groups of riders performed well, with the top points scorers in each group being as follows;
