The winner, Jay!
Wednesday 1st August. The nineth round of the Linc's League road race was held at Ashby de la Launde near Sleaford. Very warm evening with a tailwind home made for a rapid start to the race! Missing from the event was Ben who was busy with his father Phil, riding their bikes to raise money for charity, meanwhile riding for Ben's lead in the league were Nigel, Eddy, Mark, Jay, Andy, Owen and Martin. With 1st overall in the league hanging in the balance it was down to Nigel, Eddy, Mark, Jay and Martin to keep the 'Scratch' group well away from the front of the race in order for 3rd placed rider Simon Blythe to be kept out of the points! All very tactical! Once again the laps flew by as the Velosport GCM train forged ahead keeping scratch out of harms way! By this time Andy and Owen were sat in the scratch group contributing nothing, much to the annoyance of Simon Blythe and Rapha/Condor's Richard Wilkinson! Coming into the final kilometers Eddy launched not 1 but 2 attacks off the front being reeled in both times, then Mark went to the front peeling off to be followed by Nigel putting in a hard effort, then Eddy buried himself once again before Jay sprinted to the line to grab the win arms up in the air! A perfect lead out to end a perfect nights racing for the team! 1st on the night and 1st overall for the Lincolnshire League!
The Team looking very pleased with themselves!
