  • Tour of Britain ‐ 8A
    Biomatematický model 2014: Tour of Britain ‐ 8a. etapa Tour of Britain, probíhající současně se závěrečným týdnem Vuelty končila dělenou etapou – dopolední časovkou na 8,8 km a odpoledním hromadným závodem. Skvěle se v ní dařilo Janu Bártovi (Net App – Endura), který potvrdil svojí časovkářskou extratřídu a dojel 4. a o pár pozic níže skončil jeho týmový kolega Leo Konig . Karel Hník (MTN‐Qhubeka) dokončil lehce za polovinou pole). O kuriozní situaci se postaral Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma – Quick step), který si z předstartovního soustředění zapomněl vzít na start kolo… Nakonec mu ho přinesli pár vteřin před povelem „Go“. Mark se do toho opřel opravdu pořádně a dojel si pro solidní 15. místo. A jak se na širokých Londýnských ulicích dařilo jezdcům BMM? Více ve výsledkové listině na další straně. 47 Mark Renshaw Aus Omega Pharma‐QuickStep 0:10:47 49,0 94 Nathan Edmondson GBr Giordana Racing Team 0:11:36 45,5 1 Bradley Wiggins GBr Team Sky 0:09:51 53,6 48 Steve Lampier GBr Giordana Racing Team 0:10:47 49,0 95 Pablo Lastras Garcia Esp Movistar Team 0:11:38 45,4 2 Sylvain Chavanel Fra IAM Cycling 0:09:59 52,9 49 Francesco M.

  • Preston Park News June 2009
    PRESTON PARK NEWS JUNE 2009 EVERYTHING TO RIDE FOR IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS It’s very hard to believe we are just over halfway through the season already. With two rained-off meetings, it was beginning to become a little “bitty”, but this has not prevented the highest consistent attendance figures in living memory, with a minimum of 70 riders every evening. And just when it was beginning to look as if Felix English had the senior “A” league completely sewn up, his national championship aspirations have now caught up with him and he has missed a crucial meeting and is likely to miss more. So, lo and behold, we have a thrilling league on our hands with South African ace Jean Spies vying for top place! There is a similar picture in the senior “B” league. Handy Andy Parle was sailing to the league win under the new rule of “5 wins and you’ve won”. Andy has a tally of 4 wins so far, so he simply needs one more victory to take the title. Then along came Richard Bailey and spoilt the party for Andy, depriving him of that crucial fifth victory by half-a-wheel on 17 June, increasing his own total of wins to 2 and moving up the points tables in the process. The way things stand at the moment, both senior leagues could go to the wire, and may end up being decided in the final meet, and – why not? – even in the final race of the year! CHARLIE HEFFERNAN WINS NATIONAL YOUTH RACE, KIM ENGLISH TAKES A BRONZE MEDAL AND SEVERAL OTHER PP REGULARS ARE WELL-PLACED! Charlie Heffernan pulled off a masterly performance in the National Youth Circuit Race in Solihull, West Midlands, to win the U16 Boys race in real style on Sunday 14 June.
