Report: Chris Pyatt


After the previous week’s rain, it was a dry sunny evening at the latest Brooks Cycles Track League meeting on Thursday, May 16.

The A Class endurance events saw Velocity WD40 dominate the races with Will Thomas showing great form as he won all four events in the 10 lap scratch, devil, points and 10 mile scratch.

The most impressive was the final 10 mile race which saw loads of attacks throughout with the pace high. Alex Braybrooke ( Velocity WD40) attacked four laps to go and was only caught just before the bell. Will then launched his winning attack with 300 metres to go to take a fine win from team mate Matthew Walls and track league regular Adrian Adgar (Moda RT).

The sprint events were all close events with a surprise in the two-up time trial with Max Gethin (Lyme RC) and Joel Partington (Sportcity Velo) winning by 1/100th of a second from Sean Mayer and Barney Swinnerton (Swinnerton Cycles). Steve Cronshaw (Brooks Cycles) Max Gethin and Barney Swinnerton won the team sprint and Sean Mayer took an impressive win in the Keirin League Final.

The B Class events saw three different winners with Joe Pattison (Lyme RC) taking the 8 laps scratch, Paige Millward (Squadra Donne) winning the devil and Joe Swinnerton (Lyme RC) taking a good win in the Course de Primes.

In the youth events there was very some very spirited racing with Lim Zwetschnikow (Lyme RC) taking the points race and in the final race the handicap scratch Bradley Hill (Lyme RC) making good use of his handicap to take a great win from Sam Hall (Lyme RC) and Alex Coates (Lyme RC).

The Freewheelers saw 33 riders take part with all riders putting in plenty of efforts as they battled for the top three places in each event. The top point’s scorers were in each league as follows:

Group 1 Alastair Kennington and Aaron Mansell

Group 2 Jack Scott

Group 3 Owen Shepherd and McKenzie Wincle
