Decathlon Series by Wrekinsport club 10 No.5 - report

22 May 2021 23:03 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Tomos Hales headed straight to the top in Round 5 of The Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport as the cold bit. Hales was, along with most riders, down on his Round 4 time also held in chilly conditions but this time made bitingly cold thanks to a fresh breeze. The only rider to beat 22 minutes, Hales stopped the watch on 21 minutes 43 seconds, 17 seconds down on his winning time in Round 4. Hales became sole leader at the top of the standings after Chris Halford tied with Jason Walkley for third spot on 22:22 with Halford a full 45 seconds doen on Round 4. No fan of racing in the cold, Halford saw a rider he beat the previous week cope better with the bone-chilling wind, with Bridgnorth CC’s Jonathan Mills-Keeling taking the runner-up spot in 22:08, 16 seconds down on Round 4.

There’s a new leader in the Road Bike Series as Stuart Wortley took full advantage of the absence of former Series leader Dave Slater to take the maximum six points available despite losing a huge 55 seconds off his Round 4 time. Wortley recorded 33:10 to see off a challenge from Stephen Porter-Knott, himself back 54 seconds on 33:55 and showing the toughness of conditions for riders not dipping below the wind thanks to an aerodynamic position.

In the Women’s Series Clare Cotterill continues to pile on the pressure, again pushing Victoria Doran out to open up a five point lead. Cotterill was back 29 seconds on her Round 4 effort in 28:14, whilst Doran was a full 1:19 back in 31:09.
