Round 8 of the League was held on the Withern Circuit near Louth and with the absence of Ben Dunn still fielded a strong team line up for the event. Four groups set off on three laps of the course with six Velosport GCM team members within the peleton. By the start of the final lap all four groups had come together and a large group sprint was on the cards! So at the base of the uphill finish Jay timed his sprint to absolute prefection as he crossed the line arms punching the sky followed by Stu Axcell in 4th and a Ronnie making his return to league racing in 6th! All in all a fantastic night for the team who so far have won 4 out of the 7 rounds!

Lincs League Round 7 08, Grantham


Over to Grantham for round 7 of the league and Ben Dunn stamped his authority all over the race. Starting with the harder 'scratch' group at the back of the race he worked his way up to the front group to take his second win of the league this season! Great result for Ben who is now leading the league once again!
Lincs League Round 6 08, Alvingham

Alvingham was the setting for round 6 of the league and was the 1st opportunity for Velosport/GCM to host a round of the Lincolnshire League. Fielding most of the team for their 'Home' event it was a dry but windy evening as the 52 riders set off from the start. It was apparent from the start that the scratch riders couldn't organise the chase so off went Ben to try and chase down the groups ahead, however it was a short lived attempt as both Steve Marrows and Julien Grommett closed down every attack Ben made until Steve finally got away taking Velosport/GCM rider and former teammate Stu Axcell with him. Together the pair forged ahead in pursuit of the peleton until they caught and passed them and then in a show of respect for each other the pair crossed the line together! Race officials gave the win to Steve Marrows with Stu 2nd. A great result on a demanding evening!
