Suffolk Cycle Race Series Week Two
Brinkley Wins at Trinity Park
There was excellent representation of West Suffolk riders at the Maglia Rosso sponsored SCRS week two at Trinity Park, Ipswich on Wednesday June 18th, but it was Andrew Brinkley that surpassed all expectations with a fine win in the E1234 main race. He looked comfortable in the huge leading group of 4th cats that started a minute ahead of the 3rds, with the E12’s starting a further minute back. As the race progressed the groups gradually came together, with smaller groups also scattered round the circuit. With a lap and a half to go, and with the E12s close to catching the back of the lead group, Brinkley made his strong attack off the front and quickly gained 100 metres or more. His exceptional pace enabled him to stay clear for the final lap, with the chasing pack sprinting home for second about 15 seconds down. Paul Vickers finished well up in this group with other WS riders contesting midfield positions including Jeremy Waterson, Richard Stiff, Matt Eaglen, Matt Denny and Steve Newman but Malcolm Bourg dnf’ed, reason unknown.
