Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport - Round 6 2019 report

2 Jun 2019 17:36 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

The leaders of The Decathlon Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport and the Wrekinsport Road Bike Series stretched their advantages in Round 6 as both took wins in their respective categories. Rich Smith shaved two seconds off his Round 5 time despite miserable conditions that saw riders battle against a strong wind on Cotwall Bank, the toughest part of the course and rain that sprung up mid-event to ensure competitors received a liberal soaking.

Smith saw off the attentions of Tomos Hales for the second week in a row with his 23:16 effort - though by a smaller margin as Hales narrowed the gap to just 11 seconds after finishing 19 seconds off the pace in Round 5. Smith now holds a four point advantage over Hales in the Championship, with Allan Henderson lying in third place Overall thanks to a tie on the night with Rob Jackson for third, with both riders finishing in 24:17.

In the Road Bike Series Wrekinsport Chairman Dave Moore opened up a seven point advantage over Andy Loveland with a 25:56 ride, five seconds faster than in Round 5, with Bethan Till finishing in runner-up spot on 29:17.

The youngest Wrekinsport club member took on the oldest still competing regularly - and finished with a personal best as 15 year-old Henry Fleming beat 80 year-old Ron Perks by six seconds. Fleming has been frustrated in trying his new time trial bike out after a hand injury, but with that finally healed he stopped the watch on 32:08, slicing a huge 1:16 off his previous best.
