This week was a great week for our Sotonia Zwift teams. Cranks (Women’s category C team) led the charge, finishing 2nd in their league, with some superb riding from Gemma Wilks and Donna Bennett who bagged over half the team’s points between the two of them. Bees (Men’s category B team) came in 3rd on the night, after spreading out the sprint points between 5 of the 6 members of the team. A true team effort. Not to be outdone, Buzz (another Men’s category B team) also came in 3rd on the night, led by the extraordinary Dan Lickman, who finished 2nd and earned sprint points on every single sprint (winning 2 of them). And Blaze, our women’s category B team, rode bravely and strongly, with just 4 riders finishing, to take them to 11th place on the night.
Things are tight in the intra-club competition. Cranks have the most points, but it’s still all to play for.
Next week we go to Japan’s Makuri Islands for a sprint-fest. 12 sprints across three laps will mean zero chance of recovery between sprints, and lots of tactics to determine the eventual winner.
