Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport - Round 5 2019

Warm conditions brought a 22 rider field out for Round 5 of the Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport as Rich Smith took a solid win and stretched his lead at the top of the Series standings. World, European and British Transplant Games Champion Smith put the extra fitness gained racing on rolling territory in the Shropshire and South Staffordshire Cycle Road Race League to good advantage on the lumpy Long Lane circuit to beat Round 4 winner Tomos Hales by 19 seconds - as Wrekinsport riders took the Top 4 places on their home circuit. Smith stopped the watch on 23 minutes 18 seconds for his second win of the Series in 2019.

Hales was a comfortable runner-up and took over sole occupancy of second place in the Series thanks to his 23:37 ride, a place he shared after Round 4 with Allan Henderson, who took third place on the night in 24:21.

There was also a deciding split in the Road Bike Series, designed with the purer original version of the sport before the adoption of aero equipment, with a triple tie for first after Round 4 resolved as Wrekinsport Chairman Dave Moore took over at the head of the table on his own thanks to a 26:01 effort, beating Andy Loveland into runner-up spot on 27:27.
