Phil Roberts headed to the top of the standings following Round 11 of the Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport on a tricky evening marred by a block headwind on the trickiest part of the course – the climb of Cotwall Bank. Roberts overtook long time Series leader Tomos Hales who was defending his lead just over the border in the SB Series thanks to his effort of 23 minutes 15 seconds, helped by having Ben Southgate as a carrot on the long finishing straight. Southgate, who had started a minute earlier just stayed away, crossing the line two seconds in front of Roberts to take the runner-up spot in 24:13.

In only his third ever time trail Jon Evans appears to be taking to the sport like a duck to water with a fine 24:53, beating a number of more experienced hands. If the event was about anything it was new riders both racing and checking out the event and enjoying the simplicity of the format, with first-timer Billy France setting himself a benchmark to beat with 36:32.

Roberts wasn’t the only rider taking over the lead of a Series with Ben Wood taking over from club chairman Dave Moore in the Road Bike Series with his 25:46 effort. Meanwhile Clare O'Donnell narrowed the gap at the top of the Women’s Series to four points after ending the evening on 32:44.
