It was a windy night in Round 7 of the Denso and Tern Cycles Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport – but that didn’t stop Oli Freeman taking yet another win and posting his fastest time on this course ever. Freeman took full advantage of a strong easterly wind and the 27ºC temperature which given the wedge shape of the course gave some assistance along Long Lane but was a short battle directly into it at Shawbirch. Freeman crossed the line in 22 minutes 16 seconds, 14 seconds up on his Round 6 time; whilst runner-up Ben Wood actually went back a second with 23:08. Freeman now holds a 13 point advantage in the Championship. Third spot was a close call between Ian Laverie and visiting rider Hayden Beebee, with Laverie ending his evening on 24:05, 11 seconds to the good.

There’s a new leader in the Road Bike Series with the top three split by just two points. Allan Henderson took the win in 26:01, 10 seconds ahead of Rich Smith to take over that lead after Peter Jukes finished in 4th.  This is likely to be a great battle for the medals as the 10 mile Championship, now at the halfway point, rolls on.

The only female in action was again Bethan Tomlinson, here with a personal best time of 29:12, a 48 second improvement on her Round 6 time.
