Circuit Racing

Trinity Park in Ipswich was the venue for the Maglia Rosso sponsored full day’s closed circuit racing programme on Saturday.

Another good turnout from West Suffolk Wheelers & Triathlon Club saw some impressive performances on a windy and testing course.

In the combined U10/U8 Harley Gregory continued his good form with 1st in his U8 category; Oliver Griggs placed 3rd in the U10 group.

Making her debut was triathlete Mandy Bunn, who rode strongly in the women’s race against the more experienced circuit racers to finish 19th

Superb racing in the combined U14/U16 saw top 3 finishes for Fraser Elsworth (third in the U14) with Fabian Horrocks (1st) and Felix Wildey (2nd) in the U16s.

The 4th category senior men’s race saw Jeremy Waterson best placed Wheeler in 10th, followed by Matt Eaglen (15th) and Matt Denny (17th).

Jeremy raced again in the 3 /4 Men category, joined by 3rd category rider Andy Brinkley. Race pacing was hard. Despite Andy making huge efforts to break form the pack, and with Jeremy’s fatigue, neither were able to pull the leading pack in.
