Monday Malarkey Race 2.10 produces another thriller as Roman Romps home as Series Two gets to the ‘Business End’ with some exciting duels to look forward to in Races 2.11 and 2.12 …..
WATCH RACE 2.10 LIVESTREAM WITH COMMENTARY HERE
We apologise for anyone trying to check the standings just after the race, we spent hours trying to get our website back up and running after a fault by our webhosting service took our website down. Thankfully, it was sorted out overnight and we are glad to report that another spectacular turnout saw 70 riders cross the start line …. well done everyone.
As we hit the velodrome finish there were six riders in the lead group, featuring Roman Hubl, Wouter Claes, James Melville, Yoann Perreux, Zeb Norman and Nick Greenhalgh … it was a ‘Colemanballs*’ moment for commentator Dave Morrison (watch the livestream) who had, initially, assumed that there was a half lap of the velodrome to the finish, when in fact there was one and a half laps to go …. this also caught out some riders we discovered later! Dave’s predictions weren’t too good either as it was Roman Hubl who took the race, well done Roman, the full finishing positions are below (scroll down)
(*Colemanballs was a feature in a UK magazine which highlighted mistakes made by sports commentators … named after David Coleman, a renowned commentator from a few decades ago!)
Gail Robinson continued her rich vein of form with a win in the Ladies League and the various classifications are looking pretty exciting as we head into the last two races (scroll down for top positions graphic and link to full standings).
Zeb Norman is narrowly ahead of Eugene Korolov and Jorgen Van Bers in General Classification, and he is only four points behind teammate Tim Humpton in the Best of Six Category. One win in either of the last two races would allow Zeb to overtake Tim, unless Tim races and betters one of his previous results by a couple of points!
Zeb and Tim also have an interest in the teams competition but have seen Electric Spirit slip to second place behind Rasio Racing …. If Rasio were to win the series there may need to be a Jamaican Restaurant prizegiving event again ….. (for those that commented on this week’s Curried Goat pictures on Social Media)
In the Ladies League, Gail Robinson in third but only 9 points behind Natalia Zaitseva, this could be close and Gail is in fine form right now. Aileen Davidson still leads (remember that Ladies League is a Best 6 Results format).
And the Ladies Teams Classification is going to the wire as Gail Robinson’s great form is pulling Twickenham Ladies ever closer to leaders West London Ladies …. this is thrilling!
These races are about everyone who participates, we love the community aspect and thank you everyone who gets in touch. In particular this week, we were amused by Steve Millward, whose humour in always welcome. Nevertheless, he failed in his quest to come last, but what a great triumph by Lisa Snell who did…. Lisa is not a climber but turned out today as West London Ladies were depleted by a number of family matters, but Lisa made sure that her team picked up some points and struggled over the mountain to keep West London Ladies’ slender lead over the Twickenham girls …. it’s these types of stories that help make the VR Racing community great …. and look at some of those sprints in various groups in the middle of the positions on the video. We may report here mainly on the front riders but the livestreams always try to cover as many riders as we can … thankyou IndieVelo community for making this such a great experience.
