This evening saw Fraser Elsworth and Sam Asker take a trip to Lotus for one of the few opportunities for under 12s to race there.

They set off with the under 14 pack and not only stayed with them but at times pushed the pace with an average of nearly 21 mph. After completing nearly 10 miles without being dropped Fraser and Sam sprinted for the line to finish towards the front of the main under 14 pack and finishing first and second respectively in the under 12s race.

Lewis Elson ride of the night in Welnetham 8.5m TT

Friday, 12 July 2013 08:08 |

Written by Dale Sturman |

Welnetham was the venue for round 7 of the WSW & Tri Evening Time Trial series. Pre-event favourite out of the 38 riders, Jason Bouttell from Velovelocity.co.uk, saw his chance of victory disappear at half distance of the 8.5 mile circuit when a puncture forced him to retire. This left current series leader Richard Farrow and Lee Sturman to fight it out for the win.

Sturman's 21.43 gave him a 14 second winning margin to claim his first series win, Farrow finished second with 21.57 and Julian Long third in 22.20.

Best ride of the night was by Lewis Elson who smashed his course best by a staggering 1min and 40 seconds to claim 5th place. Course bests were also achieved by Brian Alldis and fast improving Tom Mills.
