An overcast cool June evening set the scene for Round 5 of the Linc's League run once again on the Ingham circuit but this time featuring 9 laps. Velosport GCM were without some key riders for this event but still fielded 7 riders to keep the pressure on for the league title. The race started with 5 groups being set off at intervals and as the race progressed the regroup to one large 'peloton' came with 2 laps to go. As the riders came up the climb Rapha Condor rider Richard Wilkinson attacked the group followed closely by Ben, this gave Andy Johnson a 'breather' and forced league leader Rick Lister to do some work for a change or loose the race! Once Wilkinson was away there was only ever going to be one winner as he crossed the line almost a minute ahead of a 3 man sprint containing our very own Ben. In the sprint Ben's tired legs showed and he came home 3rd in the sprint and 4th overall, the following pack came in later with Andy, Owen and Steve all making it over the line. Once again Velosport GCM showed well and have finished in the top 5 in all 5 races!
Come on Velosport GCM.
