Welwyn Track League Report

WELWYN TRACK LEAGUE – 31st JULY 2015

Sponsored by Peloton Hatfield

Jodie Taylor Takes Flight

31/07/15 at Welwyn Wheelers track league meeting Sponsored by Peloton Hatfield and supported by Herts County Council. Saw 15 youth riders take to the track and 22 senior riders.

The senior A racing saw John McClelland (Bush Healthcare CRT) further tighten his grip on the title with good wins in the scratch and 10 miler. The most exciting race for the As came in the Italian pursuit, which was neck and neck throughout and was edged by the back straight team lead home Mitchell Powell (Team Terminator).

Brian Evans (Herts Wheelers) had a great evening in the Senior B racing picking up two very well deserved wins in the scratch and the unknown distance.

The youth AB racing was dominated by Nathan Blackmore (Welwyn Wheelers).

In the youth CDE racing Jodie Taylor (Colchester Rovers) gave the best performance of the evening taking a great win in the 0.5 lap dash. Taylor went flat out from the gun and was able to edge out Euan Woodliffe (Welwyn Wheelers) in the closing meters.

The Senior A madison is to be held on the 14/08/15. To date 12 teams have signed up so come down and watch, as it promises to be the most exciting evening of the racing series.
