LIAM STONES opened his 2012 road race campaign with a close-up third place at the eighth round of the Imperial Winter Series in West London.
Riding in his new colours of Team Corley Cycles, the 23-year-old Ecton rider was in an eight-strong break which formed in the early stages of the hour-long elite race on the Hillingdon circuit and stayed away to the finish where Jamie Pine (London Dynamo) took the sprint ahead of Tom Smith (Felt Colbornes RT) and Stones.
“We all worked together nicely to stay away – I just wasn’t in the best position for the sprint although it was very close as we crossed the line,” said Stones, who began racing less than a year ago. “I really went down just to judge how I am going, if the training is paying off and to compare it to this time last year. “Overall, I was very pleased with third place as it showed my improvement from the bottom ranks to the top in just the year.
“I hope that I can continue to get stronger and have the same improvement by the start of next season. “But in between that, I’m sure there will be lots of highs and lows and a huge amount of suffering to look forward to!”
Tom Kruger finished in the main body of the field in 18th place, while 45 Road Club team-mate George Fox took a fine third place in the race for fourth categories – won by Matthew Bone (I-Team) – which ended in a bunch sprint after Fox and Kettering’s Joel Lewis had made the early running.

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.
Another weekend....another ride and race!

I hope everyone has had a great Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year!
Over the weekend many club members have been busy riding all over the country. Firstly, myself, George Speedy Fox, Ed and Chris all racing at Hillingdon. With a chilly but bright day the perfect winter racing conditions were provided. George made a debut in his first ever road race quickly showing the field that he had the legs to put them under some pressure.
While this was going on, Chris and Ed were also busy at the head of the 3rd cat race dishing out some pain. Once they had finished it was once again time for me to receive yet another lesson on how to race a bike J Going as a group allowed us to watch other club members succeed as the club was represented in all categories throughout the day. I plan to be racing again on Saturday if anyone is interested…………….. Let me know J
After the first 15 minutes of motor pacing drills was over, some red faces started to appear. By the end of the 3 hour session all riders were satisfied with their experience and look forward to returning. We will next be returning in Feb with the Kettering Club as Gavin kindly offered us some spaces.
