45 Road Club

Junior duo of George Fox (45RC) and Joel Lewis (Kettering) produced attacking performances in blustery conditions for round 9 of the Imperial Winter Road Race Series at the Hillingdon race track -  only to finish outside the leading positions.
 

Fox settled for 6th place behind winner Stuart Williams (Reading) in the 40km, 4th category race after launching a late solo bid for victory. Lewis attacked off the front in the early stages but eventually finished down in the main body of the field in 38th place. Three positions ahead of him was club-mate Josh Monger who showed great determination to stay on the pace in his road racing debut. Fox's performance earned him enough British Cycling ranking points to move up to a 3rd Cat   level.

 

Tom Kruger (45RC) contested the Elite event at the West London circuit, finishing 14th overall after an early break of 8 riders stayed clear to contest the finish where series leader Jamie Pine (London Dynamo) emerged the winner.

 

Well done to George and Tom.
