Beth Shriever and Quillan Isidore were crowned British BMX Champions this weekend after some powerful racing in Bournemouth, who hosted the event for the first time.
Olympic champion Shriever claimed the Championship Women’s win with ease, winning all of her motos by over one second on each occasion. Second place went to Peckham’s Shani Harris-Sherwood, while Bath rider Betsy Bax took the bronze.
Shriever’s fellow Great Britain rider Isidore also showed his dominance in the Superclass Men’s category despite some tough competition. The Peckham rider was challenged by Birmingham’s Chad Hartwell, but Isidore proved too strong as Hartwell settled for silver on the day. Eddie Moore of Decoy BMX Club secured the bronze.
It was a Birmingham 1-2 in the junior men’s category as Alexander Talbott proved fastest on the day, closely followed by his teammate George Hunt. Charlie Roy from Hayes Hawks BMX Club just pinched the bronze after being challenged consistently by Adam Gilbert.
Among the winners on Saturday was Male 10 rider Freddie Parkinson, who managed to sneak up the inside of Joshua Sylvester in the last berm to grab a thrilling win. In one of the most competitive categories, it was Harry Donald that took another British title in the Male 11 category after a very close finish on the line with Coby Wrayford. Heath Thomas made a great pass on Ben Larkins in the last berm to take the title in Male 12 with the fastest lap of the day.
James Clitheroe set up a brave pass on Jeremy Lin in the last berm to take the Male 13 win, while Ben Cornish and Harry Tanner were bar to bar down the last straight in the Male 15 final, with Cornish taking the win.
In the girls’ categories, Katie Millar was dominant all day as she took the Female 11 title, and in Female 12, it was the newly crowned world number four Jessica Marriott that took the win ahead of Ruby Moores in second, with Amelia Everly rounding of the podium in third. Female 13 National Champion rider Lotte Etmane took the title to make it a double, as well as Lucy Simpson in Female 14. Sienna Harvey and Jaya Jack-Bradshaw produced one of the tightest finishes of the day with Harvey narrowly crossing the line first.
Alan Hill took yet another British title in the 50+ Cruisers after producing a faultless performance, and followed it up on the Sunday with a victory in the Veteran 40+ category.
