A great day of
racing took place at the Lyme Valley Stadium as the Newcastle Track Cycling
Association promoted the Unigraph Design National Tandem Sprint Championships
and Round of the North Region Youth Omnium.
The tandem
sprint racing was close fought as 8 tandems raced with a mix of exciting
battles and controversial decisions. In the end, Jonathan Norfolk and
Anthony Kappes won the gold medals in a 2:0 victory over defending Champions
Anthony Churton and Simon Gill. The Yasumitsu Schlapp team had a great
event as all 4 of these riders ride for the Schlappers! Last years silver
medallists John Saysell and Ben Elliot won bronze from Neil Campbell and
veteran Dave LeGrys 2:0
The youth
racing saw an excellent standard of riding as our stars of the future performed
in time trial, points race, keiren and scratch race rounds with youth
A,B,C,D boys and girls.
Local rider
Robert Lambton won the highly competitive under 16 boys event. Full
results can be found in the menu
Paul Barber the
organiser would like to thanks our sponsors Unigraph Design http://www.unigraph-design.com/ and
British Cycling, all the officials who helped make the event happen and the riders
for putting on a great show with no incidents!
