Hannah Barnes Wins Team Series Race
Story posted June 22; by Jon Miles
Motorpoint's Hannah Barnes, proved the stronger sprinter when she won the Women's Team Race Series event held at Ettington (Warwickshire) that was very well organised by Steve Faulkner and the Stratford Cycling Club. Hannah Rich of Horizon fitness was in second place with Rapha Condor Sharp's Katie Fearnehough in third, 2 seconds back.
On this new circuit, a full field lined up for the fourth round of the Team Series races and after 22 miles, pre race favourite Claire Galloway (Team Zappi) punctured and it took four miles of chasing before she was back on. There were several attacks from Max Gear RT and Motorpoint, each trying to get the lead that would give maximum points in the overall Team position but each time the bunch reeled them in. Then, at 25 miles, Gail Aspden (Squadra Donne) punctured.
The quick pace on this interesting course was enough to see many of the less experienced riders leave by the rear door of the peloton to ride on thus gaining points for their teams. With just two miles remaining in the race, another puncture and again it was Claire Galloway and although she again chased, she was 400 metres from the bunch as they swept across the finishing line with its excellent final kilometre of clear view.
