Brooks Cycles Track League | 9 Aug 2012
The ever changing summer weather this year has been a feature of the Brooks Cycles Track League, Newcastle under, Staffs with this week seeing the sun shining with temperatures in the high 70's. The success of the British Olympic Team is having a huge effect on the Freewheelers attending each week with this week seeing the registered number of riders hitting a record 66 which is good for the future. All races in the Freewheelers League were contested keenly by all riders with plenty of personal best times in the opening flying 200m time trial. After the 12 race programme the top points scorers in each group were as follows;
Group 1 Ewan Giles 6 Points
Group 2 Farley Barber 9 Points
Group 3 Harry Boulton 7 points
In the main league there was a good turnout of 40 riders with the A Class endurance and B Class events well supported. In the A Class events Talent Team Rider Joe Evans ( Velocity RT) showed his form is starting to build for the end of the month Youth Track Nationals as he won the devil and placed second in the 8 lap scratch and third in the points race. 2011 Champion Robert Lambton ( Brooks Cycles) used is finishing sprint to easily win the opening 8 lap scratch. Other wins went to Paul Whatmough ( Shepherds Cycles) in the points race and to National Masters Champion James Notley who took a very quick 10 mile scratch. The B events saw Matthew Walls ( Velocity RT) dominate the four races to take maxium points and he now looks favourite for the B league trophy with four event remaining.
The Sprint events saw Sean Mayer ( Swinnerton Cycles ) and Sassan Emadi (Tunstall Wheelers) win the opening 2-up time trial and then the pair along with Dave Smith ( Stafford RC) won the Team Sprint. Sean Mayer made it three wins in a row as he won the Sprint Final from Steve Cronshaw and Phil Houlton, both of Brooks Cycles.
The Youth races saw Sallie Birchall mathematically secure the league win as she won three events of the four contested. the other event was the 200m time trial where sisters Sophie and Emily Capewell ( Lichfield CCC) took the top two places with great times before deciding to ride the B races for the rest of the night.
