Revolution 28 – Manchester(0)

In a full programme of racing, Sir Chris Hoy showed he’s ready for the forthcoming World Championships and happy with his form by posting the fastest 200m time, and then beating Jason Kenny in the final of the sprint, but, as he told us, he “had to pull his ring out” to do so. The pair nearly took each other out with several no-nonsense switches.

Challenge Ciclista a Mallorca(0)

Robbie Mcewen, Oscar Freire, Linus Gedermann, Rui Costa, and Andre Greipel took the five one-day races that make up this event, which suffered from the weather like other events around the Med.

Great to see Jens Voigt back in action and winning a competition too.

Etoile de Bessèges(0)

Taking his first win of the season thanks to a great leadout from his An Post-Sean Kelly teammates, Niko Eeckhout won the last and fifth stage, the Belgian beating Valentin Iglinsky (Astana) and Hans Dekkers (Landbouwkrediet).

But it was Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis), who 24-hours earlier was relegated for missing out a part of the route, who claimed the GC win. Race leader Arnaud Molmy (Roubaix Lille Metropole) and many others failed to start the last day after a stomach virus spread through the bunch overnight.

Lothian Flyers Road Race(0)

Gavin Shirley (Nevis Cycles RT) made the trip to the Scottish Borders today, and went away with the win in the Edinburgh Road Club promotion, the Lothian Flyer Road Race, narrowly edging out two fast Vets, Chris Brown (Stirling BC) and Steve Nutley (Fife Cycling 2000).

Inverclyde Velo CC 10 Mile Time Trial(0)

Iain Sim (Glasgow Couriers) took a good win today ahead of some very fast riders who are building form for the forthcoming National 25 Champs.

A relatively small field this evening at the Bishopton Community Hall, with quite a few riders deciding not to start – most likely due to the unsavoury weather conditions and a major delay on the M8 westbound.

Deeside Thistle Hilly 10.5 Mile Time Trial(0)

Ali Watt (Granite City RT) broke his own Course Record on the 2 lap 19.5ml Deeside Thistle Hilly TT on Thurs 24th May, only to be thwarted by a flying Ray Wilson (Dunfermline CC) who was over a half minute faster. A cool, dull evening with intermittent showers meant that Course Records weren’t really on most folks’ cards beforehand.

Tri Changing Gear Summer Series, Event 2(0)

This 16 Mile Time Trial at Garlogie saw a cold, breezy, but dry night.

Ray Wilson did a good ride for the night. Colin Duncan of organising club Tri Changing Gear was an excellent second, pushing Ali Watt of Granite City RT into 3rd place by 4 seconds. Colin always rides well on hard/hilly TT courses.

Deeside Thistle / Bikelife 25 Mile Time Trial(0)

A dull and not very warm (6 to 7C) day, with little breeze for this race today. But there was some really outstanding stuff, especially from winner Jon Copp, and more especially from 70yr old Derek “Dastardly Dick” Stewart who had an all-time Personal Best, first time under the hour!, with a fine 59.52 (+22.38 up on his age std).

Tri Changing Gear 10ml Time Trial(0)

A cold wind tonight wasn’t conducive to fast times and in the circumstances all the guys under 24 mins deserved a wee accollade. Ray Wilson took the win in an excellent 22.40 ahead of Norman Skene and Ali Watt.

Freddie Toms (Elgin CC), on a short holiday in Montrose easily won the Vets (on Std) award.

Deeside Thistle 40 Mile APR(0)

43 riders in 5 groups set off with the scratch group 15 mins behind the front-runners. The weather was warm and sunny but the riders faced a strong westerly wind gusting up to 30 mph.

Ray Wilson of Dunfermline CC and Alistair Watt of Granite City RT broke away on their own and caught all the groups with about 7 miles to go, then Ray won the sprint to the line.

Dunfermline Road Race(0)

Mountainbiker Euan Pope took the top spot in the Dunfermline Road Race, with a fine solo win. Second was Lewis Oliphant and third Richard Allan.

GS Corsa Spring Bunny 25 mile Time Trial(0)

The race start was delayed as there had been an accident on the course, however once underway it ran smoothly. The course was the AB25/4 – Garlogie Torphins.

Alas, the recent lovely weather came to an end today, and instead the 32 competitors were faced with a wet, breezy and cold afternoon. The rain started just after the last man was off, and continued throughout the race, which inspite of the conditions saw several excellent performances. At least it cleared up a little for the presentation.

Auchencrow Thistle Hilly TT – “Up The Cleugh”(0)

Aidan McIlroy (Auchencrow Thistle) backed up his great ride in the recent Gordon Arms time trial to win his own club’s promotion, the hilly TT – “Up The Cleugh”.

Second was Gary Robson, and third Jon Kelly, visiting from the north of England.

Tri Changing Gear CC 16ml Hilly TT(0)

The result of the Tri Changing Gear CC 16ml Hilly TT. An excellent ride by Jon to take this race, with Carlos a little unfortunate having punctured just before the start and ending up riding on someone’s borrowed “winter bike” rear wheel.

Musselburgh RC 3-Up Time Trial(0)

The Sandy Wallace Cycles team of Alan Dow, Ian Black and Joe Wilson put half a minute into the boys from Aberdeen in the shape of the Granite City RT to take the honours in the Musselburgh RC 3-Up Time Trial.

Scottish Hill Climb Championships(0)

Jason MacIntyre (Velo Ecosse) made it a neat half dozen Scottish individual titles for 2006 with a 16 second winning margin over fast-improving Irishman, Raymond Wilson (Dunfermline CC) in the Scottish Hill Climb Championship on the Bonnyton Moor climb near Eaglesham on Saturday afternoon.

West of Scotland Hill Climb Champion, Teessider Chris Smart (Glasgow Couriers) made it the proverbial Scotsman, Englishman and Irishman on the podium to take bronze.

Tour de Trossachs, Aberfoyle, Scotland(0)

Who else but Jason MacIntyre ran out the winner of this year’s Tour des Trossachs classic time trial, held around Aberfoyle, Scotland. A solid minute and a half space between him and Evan Oliphant, with Ray Wilson in third a further minute back.

Tri Changing Gear 10 Mile Time Trial(0)

A bright warm day and so fast times were expected. Turned out there was a wee stubborn breeze that made the outward leg a bit sticky.

Sean Monaghan (Tri Changing Gear) run “Deeside Flyer” Jon Cop close by 3secs. An outstanding ride of 25min 41secs by Shetland Wheelers’ Christine McLean gave her the Ladies’ award. This is Christine’s first ever season.

Phil Young Memorial GP Des Gents(0)

The Dunfermline team of I. Condie and R. Wilson won the Phil Young Memorial GP Des Gents time trial by nearly a minute on actual time, meaning that they also won the race on handicap, but only by a small margin: eight seconds.

Tour of the Campsies time trial(0)

Jason McIntyre continued his domination of time trialling with an emphatic win over Arthur Doyle and Berry McGurk in the Tour of the Campsies, over two an a half minutes clear.
