Team's Winter floodlit Cyclo cross series started with the largest
field yet, as 48 riders lined up for the first race of a ten race
series; making a strong starting sprint all the more important. Earlier
in the day there had been the typical winter cross weather, of heavy
showers, but due to the circuit being based around the well drained
rugby pitches of Supermarine, the course remained hard packed and fast.
Leading the field into the first of the woodland sections, was Weston
Summer Series winner Dan Smith who took the hole shot and led the
field for the first half lap. As the riders hit the main drag through
to the finish line, for the 1st completed lap, Paul Lloyd led, with Dan
Lewis and Matt Denby in contact, the latter two riders starting slowly
from the back from the grid, making their way to the head of the race.
With 15 minutes to go, Denby had built up a sizable lead to take the first win of the series making the most of an advantage over Lewis that he held until the finish line. Lloyd came home in a conformable third.
