Location: Herne Hill Velodrome, London
Event: 2 October 2011
Report: Snowdon Sports


Sigma Sport's Steve Adams took victory in the fourth round of the Mosquito Bikes London League staged on a tight and twisty circuit around the Herne Hill Velodrome in London on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Harpenden-based rider crossed the line 35 seconds ahead of his nearest rival after patiently pulling away over a number of laps of a testing circuit, which attracted a massive field to the event and stretched the venue to the max.

Second spot went to La Fuga-Sigma rider Sylvain Garde from Croydon, while Gary Record (Bike Tars) was another 17 seconds off the pace in third place.

While London Phoenix rider Matt Webber took fourth, fifth spot went to London Fire Brigade veteran Mick Bell, while first junior was Jack Finch (VC Deal) in seventh.

Louise Mahe (Mule Bars) was the fastest woman, while in the youth race VC Jubilee's Jake Marley managed to put around 35 seconds of daylight between himself and rival Thomas Butler (VC Deal).
