With a large contingent of regulars at the Masters National Track Championships there was a distinct young rider feeling at the latest round the Brooks Cycles Track League at Newcastle, Staffordshire.

The Freewheelers races that take place before the main event saw the best turnout of the year and in the main league there were 16 riders in the youth races. Along with a number of Youth A riders in the A and B leagues there is high hopes of a bright future at the league.

The A Sprint events saw Louis Preston, Lyme RC make full use of his long mark in the Neil Potter Sponsored 500m Handicap League to win from a closing Ryan Whatmough, Shepherd Cycles and Joffie Houlton.

The team sprint saw the winning team of Paul Whatmough, Shepherd Cycles, Barney Swinnerton, Science in Sport.com and Joffie Houlton take the win in a time of 44.91 for the 600m event. The final Keiren race saw Barney Swinnerton power away to a two length win from Sean Mayer, Lyme RC and Ryan Whatmough.

The A Class Endurance races saw Robert Lambton, Brooks Cycles re-take the overall lead as he scored 11 points in winning all four events in the 10 lap scratch, 10 lap points race, Team pursuit and the final 10 mile scratch. After finishing his exams the previous week Rob can now focus on his cycling inhis build up to the National Track Championships that take place in August.

The B Class events saw Neil Cummins take the opening eight lap scratch from Alex Webb, Lyme RC and George Edwards . George Edwards then took control as he won the devil as well as being a member of the winning team pursuit team. In the final 10 mile event he finished as the top B rider to take maximum points and move to a close second in the overall table.

The Youth events saw Joel p[artington continue to amass the points as he won the opening 200m TT and take the final six lap scratch. Tom Rotherham, Sportcity Velo won the devil and was also a member of the winning team sprint team.
