TORWORTH RESULTS 2010

Race 1 Torworth Series: 22-04-10

The new look 2010 NMRRL started in dry, sunny conditions. The new format consists of three separate groups with two of those racing each evening. This week was the turn of the middle group (B) and the fastest group (C).

The fastest group started first and after two laps, two riders Charles Tennick (J E James RT) & Danny Lowthorpe (Rutland CC) had attacked and held a 20 second lead which they increased to 30 seconds a lap later. However, within a lap, the bunch had reeled them in with a counter attack consisting of Jamie Burgan (Boneshakerbikes.com) & Marc Mallender (Rutland CC) forging ahead and holding a 45 second advantage with 2 laps to go. By the final lap they had increased this to 53 seconds which looked unassailable and sure enough at the finish the leading duo were still 50 seconds clear with Jamie Burgan easily outsprinting his breakaway companion. Marc Etches (Sheffrec CC) won the bunch sprint for 3rd place.

In the Group B race, breakaways were hard to come by, as a high tempo was set throughout the duration of the race. In the ensuing bunch sprint Sam Kirby (Doncaster Wheelers) was a clear winner ahead of Simon Jackson (Sheffrec CC) with veteran Ian Iveson (South Elmsall CC) in 3rd place. Next week it's the turn of Group A & B to ride.

Race 2 Torworth Series: 29-04-10

Wet, cold conditions made for difficult racing for all the competitors in the 2nd round of races of the Torworth Series. The turnout was quite high considering the horrid weather and consequently, the race distance was reduced by one lap to 24 miles.

Both the A & B groups rode consistently but the conditions made it virtually impossible for breakaways to have any chance of succeeding, so both races resulted in bunch sprints from what was left of their fields.

In the Group B race, Sam Kirby (Doncaster Wheelers/Don Valley Cycles) was once again a clear winner ahead of Dom Smith (Retford & District Wheelers) with John Smith (Yorkshire Velo/Highcliffe Design-UK Bathrooms) in 3rd place. This gives Sam Kirby an early lead in the Overall B standings.

In the first Group A race, juvenile Tom Saville (Norton Wheelers) was a convincing winner ahead of Steve Haggart (Dinnington RC/Universal Cycle Centre) with Andrew Lees (Sheffrec CC) in 3rd place.

B Group Finish

Race 3 Torworth Series: 06-05-10

Cool & windy conditions made it tough for both groups A & C riding in the third races of the series. The Group C race split on the very first lap with Jamie Burgan (Boneshakersbikes.com/Trek) & Daniel Storey (Sheffrec CC) attacking and opening a 15 second gap on a small chasing group, which increased to 35 seconds on the bunch after 2 laps and 43 seconds a lap later. Storey found it difficult to hold onto Burgan's pace and dropped back to the chasing duo of Steve Ellis (Rutland CC) & Mike Rowson (Horizon Fitness RT). With one lap to go Burgan had extended his lead to 50 seconds with the chasing trio being joined by Dan Lowthorpe & Marc Mallender (both Rutland CC) & the bunch a further 35 seconds adrift. At the finish, Burgan completed his 2nd victory of the Series with Dan Storey winning the sprint for 2nd place some 44 seconds behind ahead of Steve Ellis in 3rd place.

The Group A race proved to be less eventful with no attacks managing to gain any lead of any significance. At the finish, Steve Haggart (Dinnington RC/Universal Cycle Centre) was a clear winner of the bunch sprint ahead of Nick Downham (Sheffrec CC) with Tom Saville (Norton Wheelers) in 3rd place.

Race 4 Torworth Series: 13-05-10

The cool, windy conditions continued which made it another difficult evening for Groups B & C. In the Group C race, there were attacks in the very first lap instigated by Danny Lowthorpe (Rutland CC). After a further lap, he was joined by Dan Storey (Sheffrec CC) & Tim Rowson (RVO Racing) but the bunch reeled them in only for Lowthorpe to try his luck again together with Storey once more & Ashley Proctor (Sheffrec CC). Again, the race came together but with one lap to go, Mark Mallender (Rutland CC) & Phil Axe (Sharrow CC/Projekt Wheels) opened up a sizeable lead which they held to the finish where Mallender comfortably held off Axe for the win. The bunch came in 14 seconds adrift with the sprint for 3rd place easily won by Jordon Skinner (Dinnington RC/Universal Cycle Centre) who seemed unaware of the breakaway ahead. The win took Mallender to the top of the Group C rankings after 3 races.

The Group B race was uneventful in comparison with few attacks. Phil Morgan (Kiveton Park CC) & Steve Tomkin (Thurcroft CC) held a short but brief lead after 2 laps and later on, Steve Cocker (TLI), Dave Marsden (Sheffield Tri Club) & James Hunt (Sheffrec CC) attacked with 1 lap to go but it still came down to a bunch sprint where Sam Kirby (RVO Racing) won his third race in a row ahead of Daniel Dickinson (Dinnington RC/Universal Cycle Centre) with Dominic Smith (Retford & District Wheelers) in 3rd place.

Race 5 Torworth Series: 20-05-10

Clear, warm conditions finally returned to the NMRRL after several weeks of either cold or wet weather. The week 5 races at Torworth were contested by the A & B groups. A good tempo was set in both races which made it difficult for any attacks to gain any significant advantage.

In the Group B race, John Smith (Yorkshire Velo/Highcliffe Design - UK Bathrooms) made a bold attack with one lap to go but the bunch soon reeled him in and in the hotly contested sprint, Steve Tomkin (Thurcroft CC) won ahead of Sam Kirby (RVO RACING) with Dominic Smith (Retford & District Wheelers) in 3rd place. Despite losing his 100% record, Kirby has a good lead in the Overall Group B standings to take into the Harworth Series.

In the Group A race, the only attack of note was with 2 laps (10 miles) to go when Andy Smith (Rutland CC) & Richard Nutt (Dinnington RC/Universal Cycle Centre) gained a small advantage but were caught within a lap. At the finish, Richard Walker (TLI) was a clear winner in the bunch sprint.

Race 6
Torworth Series: 13-05-10

The final races of the Torworth Series were contested by the A & C Groups. The Group C race proved to be the most competitive race of the whole series so far with attacks starting on the very first lap. At the end of lap 1, Tim Rowson (RVO Racing) & juvenile Alex Minting (Planet X) held a narrow lead over the rest of the field, by the 2nd lap they were joined by an additional 5 riders, Dan Storey (Sheffrec CC), Jamie Burgan (Boneshakersbikes.com/Trek), Luke Allen (Doncaster Wheelers/Don Valley Cycles), Charles Tennick (J E James RT/SIS-Zipp-Sram-Look-Met) & Danny Lowthorpe (Rutland CC) and together they held a 27 second lead. The leading group worked well over the next 2 laps increasing their advantage to well over a minute on the bunch.

On the penultimate lap, Burgan & Lowthorpe attacked the leading group so that by the bell they held a 32 second advantage over the rest of the escapees who in turn still held a minute's lead on the bunch. The finish was uncontested with Lowthorpe crossing the line ahead of Burgan for his first win of the series. Behind, the rest of the breakaway slowed knowing that they had no hope of catching the leading duo and just managed to stay ahead of a fast closing bunch with Minting taking 3rd place ahead of Tennick, over a minute behind Lowthorpe. Burgan's 2nd place was enough to take him back to the top of the Group C Overall Standings after the Torworth Series.

The Group A race was by comparison a very uneventful with no significant breaks of any kind taking place. At the finish, Scott Haggart (Dinnington RC/Universal Cycle Centre) was a clear winner ahead of Barry Parker (RVO Racing) with John Downing (Dinnington RC) in 3rd place. Haggart takes a significant lead into the Harworth Series in the Group A Overall Standings.
