Dewey Delivers First for Team Bottrill, A3crg 10 Report, Results!

John Dewey gave Team Bottrill their maiden victory, winning the A3crg Hardriders 10 at Liphook in Hampshire. Dewey missed Phil Sykes course record on the rolling B2070 course by 15 seconds but his 22:18 was 22 seconds faster than Rob Sharland (Paceline RT).

Sharland, winner of the Kingston Wheelers sporting 14, two weeks ago, was, in turn 29 seconds clear of Pete Tadros (In-Gear QuickVit Trainsharp RT) in third place. Tadros led Dewey by 4 seconds at the prime.

Fareham Wheelers duo, James Copeland, 23:17, & Gary Chambers, 23:19, finished 4th & 5th, reversing positions from the previous weeks VC ST Raphael event. Simone Dailey (A3crg) led the ladies home with 26:43.

Dewey, like most, was checking out the P886 course ahead of the national 10 championships in August: a sporting course? more an honest 10 to be honest, the biting easterly wind providing as much of a challenge as the profile. The long drags out of the villages of Rake & Sheet will break hearts, Sharland reckons a “long 20 or a short 21” will win the title, so it’s definitely no dragstrip either, a hard ride but a Hardriders? In the preceding road bike event,

Mattew Buckley (Andover Wheelers) beat Pedal Heaven pro, Mitch Webber by 3 seconds after Webber had led by a single second at the Rake hill prime after 2 miles.

Simon Healey made it a sort of clean sweep for the Wheelers as Webber started out with the Andover club as a junior.Well sign-posted, professionally marshalled, a £600 prize fund and a club event before the main race, A3crg know how to run an Open event.

Rider Reaction
John Dewey
“Absolutely chuffed, first race of the season so I did not know what to expect, I knew it was going to be tough, strange course, I know Rob Sharman has been going really well so I am really pleased with that, it was a bit of an unknown. I wanted to ride today because of the National ten later in the year, there is so much to think about in terms of pacing, I did not know what to expect, it was a tough day today, lots to learn, I would not call it a sporting course but it needs a lot of thought, yes delighted. I have been coached by Matt Bottrill for the last three months, the team is going to be delighted and its great for me to kick off with a win”
Rob Sharland
“Cold, big headwind, very blustery, probably not ideal on a deep rim wheel. Its probably hillier than the Kingston course but without the wind it’s probably a lot quicker. I thought John was probably going to win it, he has got very good power and weighs less than I do and has been working harder than me, I knew it was going to be tough, 700 feet of climbing in a 10, thats pretty lumpy!”
Pete Tadros
“I did my best, I expected Rob to beat me, i did not think John would go quite that fast though, I though Rob might beat him, the way back was very difficult, it’s definitely a sporting course, the long drag out of Sheet was the most difficult part, just trying to hold pace”
