Mid-Summers Open Track Meet
Sunday, 20th June 2010 | Newcastle-Under-Lyme, Staffs | Steve Cronshaw
Round two of the National Sprinters League took place at Newcastle-Under-Lyme cycle track in Staffordshire on Sunday, 20th June 2010 with the Brian Rourke Cycles Sprinters League being the main event of the day. Proceedings started on a glorious sunny day with a blistering fast 200m qualifying time trial from John Paul of the City of Edinburgh who was fastest and not far from the track record, which on a windy day was impressive. His team meet Callum Skinner qualified next.
There was drama in all of the first rounds of the completion. In the first heat Tom Gregory disposed of No-1 seed John Paul who had to win his way back through the reps. In the second heat local rider Thomas Powel in his first year concentrating on the sprint, again with no respect for the top seeds beat the fast Miles Stovoid and Matthew Rotherham.
In the third heat of the first round there was a mighty tussle in the back straight between Lee Povey and Andrew Tranter, both bouncing off each other to crash heavily and end up in hospital. Luckily, both were later discharged. Lee dislocated his shoulder and Andrew broke his collarbone and suffered concussion.
In the second round, Lewis Olivia made faultless progress to the final along with John Paul who had to come back through the reps. The match sprint final saw John Paul jump past Lewis Olivia in the back straight, unsettling Lewis for John Paul to win the Brian Rourke Cycles Sprinters League completion. The four up minor final had good action with Tom Powell with good speed powering his way around the three other riders but just not able to hold off fast finishing Callum Skinner then Tom Gregory.
In the other main event of the day, the Newcastle Track 20km Grand Prix Scratch Race over 50 Laps, this was Part of the British Cycling “Hard Track Endurace League” and it was fast and furious with a large bunch. With so many sprinters at this meeting, the endurance riders were determined to ensure it did not end in a bunch sprint.
Numerous attacks went off the front but with the high pace they did not succeed. With three laps to go, Bryan Taylor took his chance and powered away from the bunch to take a quarter of a lap on the chasers. With the sprinters in the group looking around, Brian kept the gap and with one lap to go Callum Skinner blasted away from the bunch to try to catch the leader but Bryan Taylor didn't slow down and he won comfortably from Callum Skinner with John McClelland winning the bunch sprint.
In the other sprint competition, 30 sprinters battled it out in the “www.velodrome.org.uk” Sprint Championship, through three rounds and three repercharges. Those 30 sprinters were whittled down to a two up final with local rider Phil Houlton surprising some but not himself to win his way through the competition with a brilliant display of sprinting to be up against a very fast and on form Tom Baker. Tom won the competition by powering over Phil Houlton to win the “www.velodrome.org.uk” Sprint Championship. In the minor final John McClelland used all of his experience to beat young and fast Sassan Emadi of Brian Rourke Cycles.
