FORD CC DUNTON SERIES (4)

The forecast was for rain which clearly put off some riders such that only 19 signed on but they missed a good race with only a few spots at the start and then dry conditions. With only 5 over 60’s they asked to start with the younger ones. Although many tried to escape the bunch stayed together with Ross Cournell taking the first prime and Matt Holmes the second. These two also led the bunch over the line with Courtnell proving too strong for Holmes this week!

Overall, with only one race left,  Cat A is unchanged with Aaron Green leading with 8 points from Lukasz Galka with 4; in Cat B Matt Holmes has 10 points, Ross Courtnell on 6 and Duncan Rimmer and Matt Steel on 4; Marco Coppola leads Cat C with 8 points fromPaul Spicely and Murat Ozdenya on 6; Cat D has Keith Walker on 9,David Farrow on 6 and Jason Fitchew, and Paul Turner on 4; in Cat E  Stephen Piper cannot be caught with 12 points from Martin Meades with 8; and, similarly, Steven Wade-Jones cannot be caught in Cat F with a maximum 16 points.

Ron Day Memorial – MK Bowl (5)

The Ron Day Memorial MK Bowl races – Race 5 – 11th June 2024 (Sponsored by Church Lane Creative).

A DRY race tonight- YAY – and just enough helpers to run the race outside the gates after 30 mins. Thank you so much to all the helpers tonight that made this happen 🥰🥰

The ABCD race didn’t miss the Gavin Howell train tonight. A strong break of 3 riders stayed away with Michael DArcy taking a great win with a strong sprint from Lewis King and Krzysztof Zakręta with the following bunch sprint being won by Mark Calvert.

The EFG also saw a strong 2 man break staying away with Barry Bonnett taking the win from John Lacey followed by the bunch sprint being won by Ralph Keeler.

A great night of safe racing, thank you to everyone who came out to support and congratulations to our winners.

I am short of marshal helpers for next week and beyond. Please can you volunteer one evening if you have not done so already. Thank you x
