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…

Le Cap d’Agde and we're puzzled.

Roddy Riddle – Taking on the Marathon des Sables, the 6633 Ultra, and Beyond

We were chatting about the Scottish Hour Record the other day and it got us to thinking about Roddy Riddle’s 1995 ride of 46.570 which broke Graeme Obree’s 1990 ride of 46.390 - and lasted one year until Jim Gladwell established the current best of 46.650 in 1996. ‘What’s Roddy up to now?’ we mused - the last we heard he was running across the Sahara in the Marathon des Sables. Transpires he’s participating in the 6633 Ultra. The what? Best ask him...

In English we’d say, ‘Birdsong’ – in Danish it’s ‘Fuglsang.’ Despite the fact that he seems to have been around for a long, long time, Jakob Fuglsang is still only 28 with his best years as a stage race rider surely yet to come.

The Two Day Theory: TdF 2010 Stage 4 (bunchie)

Two Day Theory. It is a very fortunate thing that the situation that Garmin-Transitions is in during this Tour is a first time for all of us involved. The fortune I speak of is partly that we've never had to deal with nigh on half of our team all being pretty badly wounded on the one descent, and partly that the fretting resulting from this would leave us, the staff, nervous wrecks. I have made up a totally anecdotal "two day" theory regarding peoples' responses to injury and trauma. It's completely without scientific evidence or backing, but does explain a pattern of behaviour that I have regularly seen over the years.
