Location: Fowlmead Country Park, Sholden, Deal, Kent
Event: 4 May 2013
Report: Snowdon Sports
Attacking from the gun, Ciaran O’Grady (PMR@Toachim House) stayed away for the whole race with lone companion Graham Collins (Ipswich BC) before sprinting to victory in the feature race of his own team’s meeting on the Fowlmead circuit in Kent.
The two opened up a sizeable gap on the first of the 12 laps and were never threatened as Luke Ryan (Twenty3c.co.uk-Focus) was left to lead in the rest.
“I was really pleased with that,” said 21-year-old O’Grady, who finished sixth in last year’s corresponding race and was scoring his first road win since 2010.
“I attacked as soon as the flag dropped, one other guy got on my wheel, and we just went away. We were working well together.
“He gave me a run for my money but I won the sprint. It’s my local circuit, I know it well, and it was windy, but there’s no real hill and I’m more of a climber, so to win in that way quite impressed me!
“I’m concentrating on races in the south east, but I’ll be racing in Ireland for a few weeks over the summer, I’m of Irish nationality, and then I will be with the team up north later in the season. I’ll see what comes.”
Tanya Douglas (Ipswich CC), from Colchester, won the women’s race to spoil an otherwise clean sweep for the promoting club who took the supporting third and fourth category and Go-Race events through, respectively, Jon Parker and Paul Morton.
