Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2012

The Jason MacIntyre Memorial Trophy stays on Dooleys Cycles’ Arthur Doyle’s mantlepiece for another year, after he edged the win this morning in the Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2012 by a single second from teammate Iain Grant, with Gavin Shirley in 13th place backing them up for the Team prize in a time which we think is a new Scottish Competition Team Record by four seconds.

Paisley Velo’s Ben Peacock was third a meagre four seconds back.

10 Mile TT Championships
Arthur retains his title at the Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2012.

All three riders were off in the last 10 starters and so rode in cold rain which became steadily heavier throughout the event, the headwind to the turn becoming stronger and perhaps being countered somewhat by the increasing volume of traffic on the Langbank – Port Glasgow road.

Second place by only one second, Iain Grant.
10 Mile TT Championships
Ben Peacock looked very powerful, and took the bronze.

Rapha Condor pro James McCallum was fourth at 30 seconds behind Arthur, and when we saw him warming up on the course (one of only a handful of riders we spotted doing so), we thought he was taking the event seriously and looked very, er, Sharp.

10 Mile TT Championships
Fourth for Jimmy, but the Tour Series crit in Kirkcaldy next Tuesday evening will be more his cup of tea.

There were a number of riders who impressed with their supple pedalling action and smooth style, but the top times came from guys who had the horsepower to battle the tough headwind into the slightly uphill outward leg, and hoof the 11t round in the tailwind back to the timekeeper – but with six riders getting under 21′ and a further 18 beating the 22′ mark, it shows that despite the horrid conditions for spectating, it wasn’t a slow morning.

Fastest Lady, Sian Tovey.

Sian Tovey (Dooleys Cycles) took the honours in the Ladies race, with a comfortable 27 second win over Christine McLean (Shetland Wheelers). Shelley Farrar (DTCC) taking the bronze medal a further 29 seconds back.

Only four Juniors registered times in their event, the low entry numbers surely being something of a worry, Nevis Cycles’ Ben Miller was the fastest from Craig Ward (Ythan CC) and Thomas Dees (Cuilan Wheelers).

First Junior, Ben Miller.

The Dooley Cycles guys who organised this event did a great job, with the marshalls, course markers and warning signs plentiful and well positioned, but I reckon the guy who was blatantly following his rider in his car, spare wheels and bike at the ready, WorldTour style, was lucky there didn’t appear to be any mobile commissaires out and about…

Roadside at the Tour of Britain 2022; Stage Two

Originally we hadn’t planned to go down to The Scottish Borders to see Stage Two of the Tour of Britain 2022 – but the sun came out, we made a few time calculations and as I said of yesterday; ‘it’s not every day you get the chance to see some of the world’s best bike riders on home soil.’ One of life’s simple pleasures is surely sitting on the grass verge in the sunshine, waiting on a bike race coming up the hill.

Le Tour de France 2013 – Rest Day Two, Vaucluse. Moules and Interviews

It's the rest day today, and we're in Vaucluse, reading L’Équipe; ‘Naturellement’ says the headline. It’s ambiguous, to say the least. Does it mean that the Ventoux was always to be the place where Froome was going to place his stamp on things? – after all I wasn’t the only one who tipped him or Voeckler for the stage win. Or does it mean they think he’s ‘clean’ – natural?

The Copenhagen Six Day 2005; Danny Kaye is telling me over the public address that it's "Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen". I'm not so sure: it's gone 1.00 am and we have 18 Lycra jerseys; 18 under-vests; six pairs of chamois-lined cycling shorts; six pairs of socks and six pairs of track mitts to hand wash, spin dry and hang up to dry in our 'cabin' in the bowels of the stadium. Welcome to the glamorous world of Six Day bicycle racing.

Copenhagen Six Day 2009 – Day 1

The crowd counts us down; the pistol cracks; I give Franco a hefty shove; 'Cara Mia' blasts from the PA and the 2009 Copenhagen 6 Dages Lob is well and truly under way. Two minutes ago I was wondering why I put myself through that nightmare journey from Portobello to Ballerup-the suburb of Copenhagen where the Super Arena and it's pine velodrome live-two buses, a plane, another bus, a long train journey then waiting in the freezing cold of a Copenhagen night for my lift to the track.

Redundancy and Happy Surprises: TdF Stage 19 (time trial)

Time trials are always difficult days at races. Firstly, the riders line up knowing their final position in the race depends on their forthcoming hour of solo work, and secondly, the logistics for the staff are super complex here at the TdF Stage 19.

"Hey Ed, hope you are well? Just thought I'd let you know the Scottish guys are racing Ras Muhman this weekend, a four day over in Ireland. Phil Trodden in particular is riding for Scotland. I don't know if you know Phil, but he is an absolute gent and a proper racer..." That was the message from British Points Race Champion, Mark Stewart – best not argue with those trackies, they can get very emotional – so we dropped Phil a line and here’s what he had to say to us.
