Active Dorset Summer Track League #1, Report/Results

Charley Calvert (Backstedt Hotchillee) looked set to dominate the racing at the opening round of the Active Dorset Summer track league. Calvert won the warm up scratch race without trying it seemed, leaving Jaimee Haycock (Bournemouth Arrow) & Alan Collins (Portsmouth North End) to dispute the minor placings.

Calvert then clocked 12:06 for the flying 200 for a clear win in the sprint qualifyer. A comfortable win in the elimination race followed, with the British Cycling academy rider dispatching Gareth Rose (Bournemouth Arrow) after Tom Day (Poole Wheelers) had exhausted himself into the wind that blew down the home straight.

The wheels then came off, or more accurately the saddle as a broken seat pin sent Calvert home for an early bath allowing Rose to take a 25 lap points race win ahead of the hard working George Creasy (UK BIKING) & Simon Pettifer (Poole Wh).

Pettifer then took the senior sprint, wanting it more than Rose.

Tom Day won the final 30 lap scratch race, taking a 4 up sprint after Creasy & Dan Byrne(Poole Wheelers) had made all the running.

The pair had gone away as early as the third lap, both commited, they stayed clear till 3 to go before Rose & Day jumped across to spoil their day.

The Active Dorset league included a full youth programme with Isabel Sharp (Poole Wheelers), Ben Tinsdale (Bournemouth Arrow), Jaimee Whitcher (Poole Wheelers), Anna Tuttle & Ella-Marie Dearlove (Bournemouth Arrow) all getting stuck in and relishing the racing opportunity. Tinsdale caught the eye, aggressively riding a 12 lap points race from the front, finishing with maximum points. The Active Dorset Track league in association with Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers continues for the next 5 Friday evenings, gates open at 6pm, first race 6:30pm.
