Decathlon Series by Wrekinsport club 10 No.9 - report and updated standings

21 Jun 2021 21:16 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

Chris Halford narrowed the gap at the top of the Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport with a determined win in Round 9. Halford was the only rider to dip below the 22 minute mark with a fine 21 minutes 56 seconds after taking a week off to recharge his batteries. Conditions were decidedly slower than in Round 8 with Series leader Tomos Hales finding himself relegated to third place with 22:18, 38 seconds slower than his Round 8 effort even though that was a far from perfect evening. Hales was pushed out by visiting rider Jonathan Mills-Keeling of Bridgnorth CC who stopped the watch on 22:03 to take the runner-up spot just 7 seconds off Halford’s pace, putting in a strong effort just 10 seconds back from his Round 8 time.

In the Road Bike Series Junior Luka Stolic continues to impress with his third win in as many rounds to put in a late challenge for the medal positions. Stolic crossed the line in 24:42, just one second off the pace of Paramount CRT’s Chris Riley and actually improved by a huge 47 seconds showing his increasing fitness levels. Stuart Wortley continues to lead the Series and opened up his lead to nine points thanks to his 30:48 effort, a big improvement of 1:23 over Round 8.  

In the Women’s Series Clare Cotterill fought back against Victoria Doran after a couple of uncharacteristic rounds with the improvement of the evening – 3:28 to cross the line in 28:23, with Doran just beating the 20mph benchmark in 29:54.
