#5thTrackDay: Results

It’s taken a while, but we’ve finally got together the results from our #5thTrackDay. It was an action packed day of back to back racing with beautiful weather for most of it – just a bit of unfortunate rain during the presentations.

We want to say a huge thanks to all our sponsors for providing some incredible prizes and support on the day.

Courtesy of Etixx, everyone that registered received an energy pack with gels, isotonic, recovery shakes and bars and every rider that made it on to the podium received a tub of Complex Training Shake and box of Energy Load – worth over £80!

Not to mention *deep breath* Jawbreakers from Oakley, a C13 racing saddle and Hackney backpack from Brooks, coffee from Workshop, beer vouchers from the Other Room, pizza from Santa Maria and £170 worth of Brooks vouchers. Phew!

Unfortunately we weren’t been able to get full results for every race. As you can imagine, trying to get a position for 78 riders over 15 races is pretty tricky – and some shoddy iPad filming didn’t help.

Once again, thanks to all the riders that came down to compete. There was some serious competition and fast races, but here’s how the podiums panned out…

Huge shout out to Olivier Mangham, our most aggressive Youth rider. He was the only one signed up for the Youth C/D so he was bumped up to compete with A/B. Despite his spinny gear restriction he was always in the mix, pulling his turn. Well done Olivier!
