 28th June 2010: It was the best night of racing seen this year at the Newcastle-under-Lyme Track League last Thursday with the joint best turnout of riders. Under warm blue skies the racing was fast and furious with some new faces at the track for the first time this year which made the A Class racing very quick indeed. In the Keirin League Final there was a blanket finish with the most improved rider of this year so far Tom Powell, Newcastle RC 2001 winning in fine style. Second place went to welcome visitor James Taylor, Felt-Colbornes RT with another first time rider Ian Cooper of Planet X third. The ten mile scratch was a great race with the pace fast throughout. This was shown as the riders went through the half way point in 10 minutes 10 seconds however with some cat and mouse riding in the second half the final time was 20 minutes 45 seconds with Junior rider Declan Byrne breaking clear with three laps to go to win by 50 metres from a fast finishing James Notley of Goldtec RT and Jess Wieckowski of Team Nemesis. Other a Class wins came from Matthew Rotherham, Sportcity Velo in the opening 10 lap Scratch and Oliver Davies of Dinnington RC in the point’s race. The B Class events saw a complete domination by Ryan Whatmough, Shepherd Cycles as he won all four events in the 8 lap scratch, devil, points race and first B rider in the 10 mile scratch. There was also a welcome return to form by track coach Martyn Shaw who placed second on the devil and the point’s race with a third in the 10 mile scratch. The Youth races saw a good spread of points across the field with league leader Joel Partington of Lyme RC top scoring with 7 points as he won the devil and scratch races. There was also a thrilling race in the block handicap as the Paige Millward, Lyme RC held on to take a well deserved win. Also of note was the winner of the 200m time trial, Louis Preston, Lyme RC as he recorded a time of 12.3 seconds which is an impressive time for this first year youth a rider. This night also saw the first all ladies race of the year with a fast finish by Jessica Crampton of Sportcity Velo taking the win. If numbers are good these all ladies event will be run each week from now on. The Freewheelers saw the numbers up from last week with nearly every rider recording a personal best time in the 200m time trial.
