31 Sotonians braved the heat of June to sweat it out on a flat Coach Road going West out at the Tytherleys. Izzy Hall took the honours in both the U16 ladies and the all-comer ladies competition. Sophie Sellars showed both speed and strategic skill to play her joker on her second place, earning 8 bonus points. Jen Dawsontook third place.
That leaves Sophie on the top step in the cumulative competition, with some clear water between her and Jen Dawson in second and Debbie Hallett in third. Neither of those, though, have played their jokers yet.
In the U16 mens, Niclas Olley came home 3 seconds ahead of George Connell. Those two are tied at the top of the season competition, with Corbin Gregson now some way behind.
Although Andy Gardiner posted a time that was equal to the previous fastest time, Will Weynberg’s effort saw him set a new segment KoM, thereby guaranteeing top spot for the month. Jon Hall came in third. A solid 4th place from Jeremy Hubbard sees him into second place in the season competition, with Andy ahead of him and Jon behind.
