2023 Subscriptions thejanullrichdietplan Posted April 2, 2014 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Legs felt good today then when i saw alot of the fast young guys were missing (presumably with junior tour of Scotland coming up) i felt quite confident of making the breakthrough tonight in the Bs. Shouldnt have counted my chickens though as there was not enough A riders tonight and too many B riders to fit them all in the same race, so two combined a/b races and i was put in with Davie Lines, Andrew Whitehall, Callum Watson and a couple of others. Wasnt too bad to start with but when the hammer went down with a few laps to go it blew things apart, was just about hanging on but someone drifted down and i had to ease up slightly that meant i lost the wheel and it was game over. Next up was a Kieren, didnt do great then it was a B group only scratch where i attacked with a couple of laps to go and managed to get either a 2nd or 3rd. Another Kieren next managed a 3rd in this however there were only 5 riders in that one so it was also 3rd last! Finished off with another A/B race when the split happened i had just joined the end of the line after taking my turn so completly the wrong place. Riders in front were pulling out meaning i kept having to try and close down gaps by the time things calmed a bit there was a group of 4 about half a lap ahead and a small chasing group which i was about 10 metres behind but just couldnt get back on, eventually got lapped by the 4 in front then chucked it with a couple of laps to go. Painful night but was enjoyable as well because the race programme was a bit different to normal. Some good results from Alan tonight although i suspect he is just as pleased with avoiding crashing into a rider that went down right in front while they were both in the middle of a sprint. Very impressive save! KennyS, P McDonald, Richard and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted April 2, 2014 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hard, but fun night all round. Missed the cut by a place in the first C/D race, in the 1st Keirin was in prime position and starting to attack when the front man had a spectacular off right in front of me at the bell, voiding the race (for the record, I crossed the line first), made a poor change in the third race and came adrift with 7 laps to go. Managed to get back in the bunch with 2 left, but had no energy left. Finished last in that one. Managed a 3rd in the last Keirin and the last scratch race. 5 races for a tenner isn't bad going.

KennyS Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 The Youths definitely putting their feet up ahead of this weekend.

Always good to get a it of exposure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
