Senior/Junior/Veteran/Women Race
Under-12 & Youth Races
Preston-based junior talent Tom Armstrong (Herbalife Wheelbase) secured his third win in the North West League when he took victory in round eight at Greenbank Playing Fields in Northwich on Sunday.
The in-form 17-year-old crossed the line 12 seconds ahead of his nearest rival to add to the victories he took in rounds five and six.
The early pace had been set by Team Elite’s Giles Drake, but the 27-year-old from the Wirral had Armstrong for company for much of the race. Initially he was content to sit with Drake, but he soon attacked and went ahead alone.
Drake dropped back, but heading in the other direction was his Team Elite team-mate Paul Bethell who flew past him in search of Armstrong, and also looking to secure a second consecutive victory following his round seven win at Otterspool Park in Liverpool last weekend.
Bethell didn’t manage to catch Armstrong, but came within 12 seconds, while Drake held on for third, 1-20 ahead of Yorkshire visitor Jake Womersley, the 15-year-old from Mirfield.
Meanwhile, there was also a junior winner in the women’s category, with Becky Preece (Red Rose Olympic) being the first female across the line from the 144 riders attracted to the event, which was run off in sunny, cold and firm but slippery conditions.

British Cycling would like to thank the organising team, officials and everyone else who helped promote this event. Our sport could not exist without the hundreds of people, many of them unpaid volunteers, who put in many hours of hard work running events, activities and clubs.
