Ben Hetherington led home a one-two for Achieve Northside Skinnergate in the Billy Warnock Memorial Road Race in Falkirk on Sunday.

It was a great team ride from Achieve with Jack Rees finishing second and two other members, Bradley Stokes and Tom Timothy, working hard to bring the team victory.

The initial break was pulled back but with a lap to go, Achieve upped the ante and managed to put Rees and Hetherington at the front of the race.

With 500 metres remaining, Hetherington attacked and managed to beat his team mate to the line.

Speaking after the race, Hetherington said: “I’m really happy with the result and how the team worked together. Bradley, Tom and Jack kept getting us in all the moves and had everything covered throughout.

“It was raining the whole race, quite a grim day but that doesn’t bother me, you just after to get on with it. It was a quick race, it’s a rolling course with a couple of drags, we were averaging at 27mph.

“It was just a really strong ride from the entire team and hopefully we can get a result at Wellbury next Sunday.”
