Linc's R.R. League Race 7

Ben proudly shows his BC top!

Wednesday 4th July. A torrential downpour half an hour before the start greeted Team Velosport GCM at North Cotes for round 7 of the Linc's League road race series. Fielding a strong team of seven riders for the event the aim was to win what is the team's 'home' event! As the race got started under clearing skies the pace was high as Graham and Martin drove group 2 on with little help from the rest of their group! As the laps went by groups 1 & 2 got together and drove further ahead with the other groups making little impression on their lead. Eddy was unlucky to puncture and Mark found the high pace on the flat course just a little too hard going. Coming into the final lap Graham and Martin were still out in front but tiring towards the end Martin fell back leaving Graham to bring the group in to the finish straight where he was quickly worked over by the wheel sucking Velo Lincoln riders and finished in the bunch, riders from the groups further back were then involved in a pile up going into the second to last corner with Ronnie ending up on the ground! No harm done thankfully and Ben and Andy finished safely with Andy winning the sprint out of the bunch. So no win this time around, but a class ride by the team all the same.
