teamwallis-CHH Cycling Team

A great weekend's racing for teamwallis-CHH.

On his 18th birthday, Lewis got 14th in the Eddie Soens classic, part of a legendary group of juniors who set off at a blistering pace and caught the Elite riders who never had chance to make up the lap they had lost - a real turn-up!

The same day, Steve got 12th in the National B race at the Paramount race in Shrewsbury, Andy Mc finishing in the bunch in the Regional B race.

Sunday saw the first CDNW races of the season, at Treales. Andy Coupe secured a fantastic 10th place in the National B race against tough Elite competition. In the Regional B race, James got himself on the podium, with a great 3rd place and Gareth won the Primes competition. Read more ...

After Jack's win on Saturday, Lewis Balyckyi rounded off a great first weekend of road racing for teamwallis-CHH in 2010 with the First Junior prize in the Clayton Velo Spring Classic, finishing ahead of many Elite riders such as Malcolm Elliot.

Well done everyone who has been plugging away at the Preston Arena all season and amassing plenty of points for the team. Sorry no-one has listed every indivdual point scored, but I know Andy Coupe, Eldon, Lewis, Iain, Steve and John all appear in the league tables, with others providing valuable support during the season.

And welcome back to racing for Martin, after having to devote most of his energies to running the team and the shop, with an eighth place on the 20th August.

Andy Coupe secured a great result on the beast course that is cockerham. One thing is for sure on the marsh and that is wind. With the rain thrown in for good measure it turned out to be hard day and one where a break was going to hard to nail.
Fortunatly after working hard all race Andy Coupe managed to chip off with one lap to go, the other supporting. The break succeded and he managed to sprint for 2nd in the bunch gallop. Tom cracked through the take the peleton sprint...recording 48mph on the way in.
Well done to all riders on a tough day. Read more ...

Well done everyone at the final Salt Ayre race of the season tonight.

Lewis was 3rd (we think, photo-finish being confirmed) and Steve 8th on the night, with Michael also in the front bunch. Hard luck Martin on the slow puncture - keep those bits of brake cable swept up off the shop floor in future!

In the series overall Steve was joint third, Ella was top female junior and Lewis (despite riding only a few of the events) was joint second junior.

Lewis manages 2 second places this week with a great team performance all round on both races. Well done everyone, really impressed with the team riding and playing to our strengths. Also great performance from Lewis.
