Cross: Bethell wins at Northwich

Navigation:
Home » Cyclo-Cross

Second in the previous round a week earlier, veteran Paul Bethell (Team-Elite) took victory in the fifth North Western League event over eight laps of an extended and more challenging Northwich course.

Racing on a gloriously calm sunny day, 40-year-old Bethell, from Gawsworth, led the 105-strong field away from the start before being joined at the front by his younger team-mate Giles Drake.

The pair stayed clear for the rest of the race with Bethall narrowly coming out on top in a close sprint for the line well clear of third-placed Pete Middleton (Zepnat).
