Second day of a tough weekend – 26th April – for Joshua Giddings with the Derby Youth Omnium – the first real cycling event in the new Derby Arena – it was hot indoors and a very hard race.

We got to Derby early the first event was a 500m time trial I found this hard to keep on the black line but was fastest rider Event 2 was the elimination race I nearly got caught out when down to five riders but sprinted past Ben Chilton to put him out then got 2nd to a Halesowen rider Event 3 was a scratch race I was ok and got 2nd again to the same rider which meant he was now leading Event 4 was a Kieran race I loved this as they used the derny I got first draw and was sat behind the derny it pulled off with 1.1/2 laps to go and I went for it too win the Halesowen rider got 4th so I was in the lead by two points for the last race Event 5 was a points race with three sprints I was very tired and didn’t score in the first sprint but didn’t want to loose and won the next and second in the final one to get second in this race and win the overall omnium by one point.

CONGRATULATIONS JOSH!!

Rider report – Youth Omnium Derby Arena 2015

On April 26th myself, Josh, Jack and Joe went to the midlands track championships stage one which was at the Derby arena. This was the first official race at Derby Arena and first proper indoor velodrome race that we had done. In the Omnium there were 5 races TT, elimination, scratch, keirin then points. I thought it was hard and I now know what I need to do to be better. The end results were Josh coming 1st and Jack coming 5th in the u12 boys, I came 16th in the u14 boys and Joe coming 30th in u16 boys. I enjoyed the scratch race the most.  It was my best race because I saw a gap and went for it but the group above me used the bank to come over the top of me. The elimination was good but I got blocked and I thought there were people behind me so I was eliminated. Overall we all did a good job and I think we are all going to the other 2 races.
