Stourport 4th Cat 25th August

Post by petemarshall » 26 Aug 2015 08:23

Three riders in last night's Cat 4 race at Stourport.
Robin Kirkham rode his first race, a valiant first effort in a race that had a fast start. Sadly a DNF, but he will be back
Tim Egan and Matt Clegg worked well as a team throughout the race, only Matt's magnificent last lap attack prevented Tim from using his strong sprint finish.😊
Both rode well within themselves, controlling attempted breaks and the pace on occasions..
On the last lap, timed to perfection, Matt made his break for glory. His pace spread the group all along the road and he held off the chasers until the final corner when three managed to just take him.
A forth place for Matt and a sixth for Tim means both riders were in the points and continue their inevitable rise to Cat 3.
Road Race secretaryLaurence Cooleyy was otherwise engaged on the top of mountains hence my report.
