teamwallis-CHH Cycling Team

A good field was assembled for the West Pennine event with the team well supported with Matt, Chris and James the main focus. Chris was first to attack with an early break of 15 riders, this was pulled back by the bunch and the race was settling with a few digs off the front, including Matt who was away alone for nearly a lap! Then the decisive break went, without any of the team in it. Dafydd and Chid then worked to close the gap, with James assisting. When the gap was @ 1min on the last lap, it looked as though we were racing for fourth, until Matt put a huge effort in to make the break. The finish was a kick up, and Adrian Lawerence just pipped Matt for the win, Matty 2nd. James smashed the final kick to come in 7th with Chris a respectable 11th. A good day out, Eldon, Martin and Roy watched from the side, Martin after a '30' mile TT in the morning to add another Spoco counting event.

Andy Coupe was also in action at the Lincoln GP, lining up alongside a strong field. He was up in the action at first, but fell victim of a crash which split the field, he and 60 other riders gave chase, but unfortunately could not bridge, but rode on to be pulled just before the finish.
