Tornado CRT Sporting 10, Report/Results

James Boyman (Hops Velo) makes it a weekend double winning the Tornado CRT 10,just 15 hours after victory in the Utag 10, report from Martin Howes.....
With the forecast torrential rain and 25mph winds failing to materialise, 28 riders took the start of the Tornado RCC Open 10. Part of the South district Sporting time trial series a bag full of points were on offer for a late charge up the leader board before seasons end.

This event was sponsored by Sunday Club Clothing who provided the cash prizes for all categories.

Set around Bransgore on quite back roads into the New Forest, heavy rain the night before had left roads wet and the chances of punctures high. Michelle Walter the most unfortunate, puncturing on the way to the start. A dash back to HQ, bit of help from Estrella bikes and she was ready to go again.

James Boyman of Hoops Velo took overall honours with a time of 22.05. A margin of 1m 50s ahead of 2nd place assured victory and annihilated the course record in the process.

The other podium spots however were far closer, only 14 seconds between 2nd and 4th.

Craig Wallington (Sarum Velo), winner of the first open back in April took 2nd, and Max Webber (Abbotts Ann Cycles) 3rd.

Lizzie Campbell (Iris Race Team) was winner of the womens competition with a time of 28.32. Sarah Wise (Weymouth CC) 2nd, and Michelle Lock (GS Stella) 3rd.

The team competition was once again won by NFCC. Two in a row for them at this event.

Young Zak Snell (Tornado RCC) was quickest junior. Setting a time of 25.58 on a standard road bike.

Dave Dent went home winner of the Vets award with a time of 24.46, 2 minutes 38 under standard and good enough for 6th place on the day.
