Round 6 of the Lincolnshire Road Race League was held at Harlaxton near Grantham. A dry warm but windy evening greeted a slightly smaller than usual Velosport/GCM Landscapes team. Riding on the night where, Scoff, Jay, Steve, Owen, Andy and Ben with many of the other members missing due to work commitment's this was going to be a tough race to control! As the groups started to come together and the miles rolled by it was down to Velosport/GCM super domestique Owen Sparnon to drive the field along in pursuit of the leading group and try to force a group sprint finish for either Andy or Ben to take advantage of. With 2km to go Owen buried himself with Andy and Ben on his wheel catching the leading group. As the wind up for the sprint began it was down to Ben to try for the win, but with a couple of hard charging sprinters in the group it just wasn't to be, having to settle for yet another 3rd place. Andy, Owen and the rest of the team once again finished safely in the bunch pleased with yet another top 3 placing for the team!
We are awaiting confirmation, but we are now sure Ben is leading the league at the moment.
Next up is our 'home' race at North Coates on July 4th, hope to see you there!
