This weekend wheelers Adam Egner, Ehren Courtman and Robert McAndrew went to Market Harborough for the 2 day stage race, 75 riders strong. First was stage 1, a 3 mile TT which saw Robert finish in 46th just 4 seconds ahead of Adam in 52nd, while Ehren finished just over 40 seconds behind.

Stage 2 was a 56 mile Road race on the Devil’s staircase circuit.  Unfortunately Ehren suffered a mechanical on the first lap and never managed to chase back on to the peloton, but carried on at a good pace solo. Adam tried a couple of moves, mainly on the climb but nothing materialised and a bunch sprint became the outcome. Robert and Adam rolled in with the bunch in 16th and 24th respectively.

Sunday came with only stage 3 left, a 50 mile Road race. With the pack paranoid about breakaways, nothing was allowed to get away and another bunch sprint seemed inevitable. The pace was high, with a 26mph average which got the better of 1st year junior Ehren as he got dropped at the end of the first lap in his first 2 day event. Adam decided to go for the KOM competition as he had good climbing legs and managed to bag 2nd on the stage. At the finish, Adam rolled in with the bunch with Robert getting 15th in the sprint.

All in all a good weekend for the all Junior wheelers team,  showing promise for the remainder of the season.
