Scorpion 3 Stage

After virtually abandoning competition racing in 2013 in favour of A levels and University,Warehams Jordan Wade is feeling his way back into the fold for 2014 by securing 3rd overall in the Scorpion 3 Stage Event held at Ilton Airfield hosted by Team Tor 2000. In an event well supported by Local Riders, Wade grabbed the leaders jersey taking first place in the Stage One Circuit race and held onto this jersey with a third place in the Stage 2 Criterium. Going into Stage 3 Time Trial (his weakest discipline) and a two second lead over his nearest rival, Wade was not confident of holding onto number One spot and this proved to be the case but managed a credible 7.29 over 5.1km to take 3rd overall. Further back in the field going into the TT with a 21 second deficit were local riders Chris Courage (Bournemouth Jubilee Wh) John Chapman and Bryce Rigler (CCWeymouth) Gareth Cobb Timothy Flynn Mark Valentine Robert Flynn (Poole Wheelers) and Julian Thacker (VC St Raphael) but despite their best efforts could not close the gap to the top five.
