New Wheeler Paul Hanks finished 3rd in his first race of the year at the Milton Keynes Bowl circuit series.
80 riders started the 4th Cat race with a fast pace maintained throughout. The only respite might have come on the downhill section after the start/finish line, but this was into a severe head wind. Paul wisely tucked in for the first half of the 1 hour race to settle in and gauge what others were doing. With the finish line at the top of a long uphill drag, Paul positioned himself within the top 6/7 riders on the last set of corners to set up for a good run to the finish line. He was very pleased with a solid 3rd place to start the season off but said "Maybe I stood up a little early for the sprint finish, but I had power all the way to the finish line".
