23rd June was round 3 of the inaugural PDQ Newport Live Track Night of a new prestigious track racing Series at Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales in Newport. BC points and big prize money is on offer for this race series, prizes kindly donated by our sponsors of this event Carbotech Ltd and 73 Degrees Bicycle Shop.

The racing on offer was Category B races and Masters 35yrs+. A fantastic first evening of racing in this series, certainly fast and furious races in both categories.

The variety of riders taking part was great to see. In the B category we had riders of different age groups from Junior to riders in their 60’s, a mix of genders and abilities. We had riders in the B cat who were riding their 2nd ever event up to seasoned racers in the Masters. This just shows that this series caters for such a wide range of riders, something for everybody.

Both the B Category and the Masters races included a 5km Scratch Race, 13-lap Tempo race, 6-Lap Dash and a 10km Points Race.

It was Junior rider Reuben Cox from Abergavenny RC dominating the Category B races again claiming victory in the Scratch and Tempo Race.  Thomas Hogan of VC Vitesse spoilt the party though claiming the win in the Points race.  Jacob Davies of PDQ Cycle Coaching took the win in the 6-Lap Dash.

Vince Ellis of Velo Schils – Interbike RT won the B category series overall with his overall consistent riding.  John Berry of PDQ Cycle Coaching slipped to 3rd overall and Reuben jumped into 2nd place overall having missed a round in the series.

In the Masters racing it was hard fought with just 7 riders taking to the start line.  Every race was ridden hard and tactically.  It was Antony Gibb of Full Gas Racing who took the win in the Scratch race.  Nicholas English of Aerocoach won both the Tempo race and Points and firmly secured his overall win in the Masters series.  2nd overall in the series went to Oliver Hambrey of Team HUUB, who missed the final round, followed by Byron Hooper of PDQ Cycle Coaching.
