Sigma Sport Specialized rider Tom Murray teamed up with Sky Pro Cycling rider Alex Dowsett to win the Silver medal in the National Madison Championships at Manchester Velodrome last Saturday. In this event one rider races round the track while their team mate rests, then they relay each other into the race with a hand sling. Every 10 laps there is a sprint for points but teams can also gain laps on each other. Only 3 teams were on the same lap by the end of the 50km race so it went down to points scored with the 100% Me team of Mark Christian & Simon Yates winning with 31 points, Murray & Dowsett scored 23 points & George Atkins & Owain Doull (100% Me) in 3rd with 9 points.
Mirfield youngster Jake Womersley (Sportscover RT) teamed up with Ollie Wood & matched Murray’s result in the Youth Madison Championships. The 60 lap race was won by James Shaw & Fabio Close.
Abby Mae Parkinson (RST Racing Team-Trigon) teamed up with Melissa Lowther (Aire Valley RT) to take 3rd place in the Girls event.
The Chep UK team won the Future Stars competition in the Revolution track series on Saturday night at Manchester Velodrome. This team is filled with the best young riders from Yorkshire, including several from Huddersfield, including Womersley, Parkinson & former Holme Valley Wheeler Jacob Scott (Planet X). Scott had a great evening’s racing taking the win in the 5km Scratch & 3rd in the Points race.
Huddersfield Star Wheeler Ivan Boyes braved the snow over the Pennines to travel to Manchester for the First Division Track League last Friday. Boyes best result was a win in the group 4 Points race.
