Young Guns Go for it in Dorset,Tristan Robbins leads after Stage 2! REPORT,RESULTS & GC

It was a good day for the youngsters as Tristan Robbins (Cardiff Jif) won an uphill sprint to take stage 2 of the Dorset Two Day. The southern region junior champion came round Richard Cartland (Echelon-Rotor) after Cartland had forced the pace on the final climb. Robins will start stage 3 in yellow, as prologue winner and fellow junior, Mitch Webber failed to defend his early lead. The 5.2 mile loop around Furzebrook included 10 climbs of East Creech and with temperatures in the mid-20s it proved a tough day out. In an attacking race Ben Luckwell (Ride 24/7) & Rowan Horner (VC ST Raphael) were the first to gain daylight, the experienced pair holding a lead of around 15 seconds for two laps. The climb strung the bunch out but on the fast narrow descent to the duck pond at East Creech Farm it was hard to stay away. Horner tried again and was joined by teammate Simon Brooks, the peloton were never going to let that one work. Richard Cartland (Team Echlelon-Rotor) held a small gap on the climb with three to go, Cartland had tried earlier without success but this time he would make it stick. Robbins, Luke Dunbar (Equipe CMI) & Alexander Royle(Banjo Cycles) made contact with Cartland and we had a stage winning break. The bunch were never far behind but legs were getting tired and the gap could not be closed. The final time up Creech, Cartland led but Robbins likes a sprint and pulled away as Dunbar & Royle faded.

What they Said!
Tristan Robbins “It was hot and the climb was really, really hard the first few times, it got a little easier as fatigue set in. Lots of people struggled with the heat, it was really hard race. I always want to go out and try and win, I aimed to be in the early move, it’s a stage race and I wanted to get as much time as possible, but did not seem to happen. I sat in, I was struggling a bit, I popped a couple of gels and felt a lot better. I bridged across on the descent and we worked well together and I wanted to win the sprint. Hopefully I can hold on to yellow it would be amazing to win it”

Richard Cartland “ It’s a great course, I wasted some energy early on away on my own, the final time up the climb the others were finessing, I shouted at them its G C time and we had to keep riding, before then we had worked well together”

Ben Davis “The place to attack was over the top because everyone was right on the limit”

Charles Coleman “It was really good fun, a bit like a Belgian race, lots of laps and punchy climbs, the course was harder than I thought”

Ben Luckwell “All just a bit of training really, myself and Rowan (Horner) the old stagers. To be honest I did not think the course was that hard but I would not fancy 90 miles round it. I am hoping everyone is a bit tired tomorrow because I feel ok”

Steve Dring “A brilliant racing circuit”
