WWCC Track League 2018 Round 16

First race up tonight was an Elimination event with all Senior riders racing together. First A rider over the line at the end of the race was Matty Lewis followed by Jake White and then Giulio Cervi. Grace Lister took the first B rider place with Zak White second and Oliver Baker third.

Riders separated for the next two sets of races: 3 Lap Dash and Points. In the B Dash Mahyar Abbott made his move too soon on the last lap and was overhauled by the field with Zak White taking the win just ahead of Grace Lister and Simon Orme (Brereton Wheelers). The A event provided more excitement for the crowd with Lichfield City Cycling Club rider Hayden Norris taking the win just ahead of Matty Lewis with Seb Bacon third. The B Points race saw Oliver Baker and Grace Lister well ahead of the rest of the field carving up the maximum points together with Grace over the line first at the end of the race and Oliver second. Matty Lewis eventually took over the A Points race and it was Seb Bacon second over the line and Giulio Cervi third at the end of the race.

What proved to be the final event of the evening was the Marymoor Crawl and here Matty Lewis once again illustrated both his skill and strength; waiting on the line for the whistle and then he was off. There was a challenge, however, in the form of Simon Orme who took a well deserved second place just 0.03 seconds behind Matty with Zak White third. Just as the race was ending the expected rain came down cheating the riders and the crowd of the traditional Handicap race which usually concludes the evening. However this was the only race lost to the weather this season so not too bad an outcome after all!
