The final medals were resolved in Round 15 of The Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport as the Series winner took a back seat for once – riding a tandem. Oliver Rodwell took full advantage to take the solo win in 23:01 on a generally slow evening, with several riders commenting about the ‘thickness’ of the air. Rodwell beat Series Silver medallist Phil Roberts by 42 seconds, whilst Richard Howes put in a strong ride to take third spot in 24:13.

It was a straight head-to-head battle between Ben Wood and Dave Moore for Gold and Silver in the Road Bike Series – but Deb Hutson-Lumb split the pair after unexpectedly turning up on her road bike for the final race after having already sealed Women’s Gold, and was the only female in competition. Wood took Gold with a fine effort of 25:40, with Moore taking the Silver using a single speed bike thanks to a 26:41 effort. Hutson-Lumb took second spot on the night in 26:13.

But the unusual sight of Series winner Tomos Hales on the back of a tandem was an intriguing prospect as he partnered Chris Riley in his first ever attempt on a bicycle made for two. Hales certainly took to the discipline, finishing in 21:08 and noticeably faster than the rest of the field passing the finish line for the first time, with Riley commenting post-race how he’d never gone faster.
