Talented young rider Jack Clarkson (Pedalsport CC) took victory in the Jonathan Noble Memorial ‘cross at Temple Newsam Park in Leeds on Sunday, round four of the Yorkshire Points Series.
The 18-year-old from Halifax out-sprinted Tom Last (Sigma Sport) the 22-year-old from Derbyshire who had been tussling for the lead with his rival all afternoon.
Initially there were four riders battling at the front of the race, which was run off on a hot, hard and fast day, with Joe Moses (Paul Milnes RT) and Adam Martin (Cestria Cycles).
The group was whittled down a little when Martin had mechanical problems, while the pace proved too much for Moses who steadily dropped back to finish an eventual third place, around 30 seconds behind.
Former national champion Chris Young (Wheelbase) beat fellow Keighley rider Matt Denby (Zepnat RT) in the veterans event, while Adela Carter (WXC MTB Team) was fastest woman.
