TCI Friday Round 7 results

This week’s race was organised by Livingston Cycling Club, their first event on the circuit but the whole evening ran like clockwork, Thank you to all the volunteers.

The races were run in a clockwise direction and included the acute ‘elbow’ corner between loop 3 and 4, the first time for this direction, producing a route 1kmin length

With a low turn-out the youth races were replaced with a time trial. In the A boys event Lee McQueen smashed round the circuit in a sub-25mph time of 23.53. In the youth B girls Sarah McCormac led home Ishbel Bennett with a time of 13.44 for 5km.

The masters race showed how racers are getting to grips with the track, a much tighter competition for the bunch over the 45 minute event.

After 10 minutes Davie Lines jumped away from the pack and built a sizeable lead. Davie isn’t someone you want to let go, so James Mccallum jumped across and the two veteran competitors worked together to form the race-winning break, almost catching the bunch. Mccallum cruised by Lines in the finale, increasing his race wins on the circuit to four.

The non-series 2/3 cat race played out a calm first 10 minutes until Alastair Easton tested his legs and pulled Joshua Higgins with him away bunch. The bunch didn’t react immediately until the leading duo were joined by James Mccallum, Ross Clark and Andre van, The five leaders increased the gap to the bunch to half a lap.

The chasing bunch didn’t gel so a ‘frustrated’ Oliver Pemberton played his hand and struck out to bridge across to the five leaders. 10 minutes later he was sitting in and recovering from his effort.

The 6 riders remained together until the finale and Pemebrton crossed the line first with a trade mark seated sprint.
