The hottest day of the year so far saw Scunthorpe Poly promoting the annual Trophy Meeting at Quibell Park Stadium.
Despite the venue resembling a building site at present the event ran smoothly with the riders providing some excellent racing.
The Sprint Competition saw some quick times in the 200 Time Trial with John Paul of City of Edinburgh quickest with a 11.25 from Peter Mitchell of Perfomance Cycle Coaching 11.36 these two progressed through the rounds to meet in the final with Peter Mitchel coming out on top.
In the 20k Adam Duggleby of Wheelbase – resplendent in his National Champion’s jersey – made a successful defence of the Scunthorpe Cycling Trophy he won last year. He broke away with Philip Trodden of the City of Edinburgh and a chasing group of 6 tried to get across but failed to make contact and drifted back into the bunch. Duggleby and Trodden worked well together sharing the lap primes to take a lap on the bunch.
The bunch now down to 25 riders from the original 45 starters were all together at the bell where Ryan Whatmough of Team Terminator led them home to take the bunch finish to claim 3 place with Duggleby crossing the line in front of Trodden to win. An impressive performance by Katie Archibald of City of Edinburgh a lady rider she managed to finish in the main bunch and later held of all the men to win the 8k Block Handicap & take 3 in the Points Race.
The Ladies sprint run on the same format as the men’s sprint saw Rosie Blount of Derby Mercury defeat Ellie Coster Bush Healthcare to win both who had progressed unbeaten to the final. Rosie was the fastest qualifier in the Time Trial with 12.81 and her sister Hannah 2nd with 13.05 and Eliie Costner 3 with 13.19, Ellie managed to upset the seeding to defeat Hannah in the semi-final. But Hannah’s sister Rosie was too strong in the final.
