Mayman leads Easter Cycling Challenge
Saturday 7th April 2007, 12:00AM BST.
CAESAREAN Cycling Club’s Dave Mayman leads the Easter Stage Race after two of the five races held to date in the annual event.
With the three-kilometre time trial prologue and 50 km handicap road races completed yesterday and on Thursday, respectively, Mayman has the lowest accumulation of points to lead veteran Mike Harris by three points.
Vélo Sport Jersey’s Andy Munns took line honours in a breath-taking finish on the Watersplash circuit yesterday in the 50 km road race.
The handicappers got their handicapping spot on with a blanket finish of 30 riders speeding for the line with seven or eight seconds finally separating the group.
Munns completed the course one hour, 21 minutes and 31 seconds pushing Mayman, Mike Mitchinson (VSJ) and Mike Harris into second, third and fourth places respectively.
On Thursday night in the 3km time trial prologue, from the Watersplash to the top of Jubilee Hill, just under three minutes, the quickest of the distance was VSJ’s Richard Tanguy in 5 minutes and 12 seconds.
CCC riders took the next positions through Vincent Peron (5.15), Chris Spence (5.23) and Mayman and Harris in finished in the same time of 5.24.
Chris Seviour, of CCC, has also had a couple of good rides finishing first junior in both races, the prologue in 5.37 while taking fifth place overall in the 50km race.
Competition continued this morning with a 16 mile time trial at La Saline while tomorrow morning circuit races take place at Les Quennevais.
The weekend concludes on Monday with a handicap 40-mile road race on the Corbière circuit.
