Last Saturday Jack Bradley raced Lichfield CCC’s Curborough Sprint Series round 2 on a dry and sunny day with a blustery wind blowing up the home staight.

He came in 9th, in the main bunch sprint.

Dad, Ian Bradley reports: “Round 2 of the Curborough Series found much different conditions to round 1. As in the previous round, a fast start by eventual winner Ben Hardwick soon had the field strung out.The leading two soon broke clear leaving a large bunch to chase. A small group of 5 riders repeatedly tried to break away, but on each attempt the were pulled back by the bunch, with Jack working hard on the front to close the gap. But they continued to push and eventually broke away at half distance. Jack followed up a fine ride at Mallory n Tuesday, by taking the bunch sprint by half a wheel to finish 9th.”

On Saturday 28th March, Josh Giddings and Jack Brough rode the U12 race promoted by the Lichfield CC at the Curborough circuit. The race was run in wet and very windy conditions, a fast start seen about 8 riders break clear of the rest, Jack and Josh along with with local Lichfield rider Ben Askey continued to try and break away many times but the breaks didn’t go so it all came down to a sprint finish with a Josh taking the win by several lengths over Ben Askey and Jack coming in 5th another great ride from them.

Earlier in the day Ben Marsh contested the U10 races he was always well placed but missed the move of two riders breaking clear, Ben chased along with two non working riders after several attacks he distanced them with 2 1/2 laps still to go and put in a really strong and valiant attempt to bridge to the front riders but having to eventually settle for a well deserved 3rd place.

Consistent results from these riders see them currently within the UK top 20 for their age group.

This week sees Ben Marsh, Sam Marsh and Josh Giddings contest the York circuit races on a Good Friday.
