Winchester the Real Winner at Summer Criteriums! Full Results.

Al Murison (Bikeshed -Uex) and Lucy Chittenden (Unatt) were the big winners at the Winchester Criterium 2014, victorious in the Elite men’s and Women’s races respectively but Winchester City Council deserve some credit also. To close the city centre roads down in the middle of August took courage and foresight, CHAPEAU! to the councillors that voted to support the bike racing. "Winchester City Council is keen to promote cycling in the city and the wonderful lanes and quiet roads beyond" read the programme notes. A family orientated event got the Cyclefest underway at 10 am and with the circuit already closed families were free to ride two, three or even four abreast up the High St and round to the Cathedral.

The under 8s were first to race at 2pm with the Elite men not due off till 18:10. Races for U12S,U14S & U16S quickly followed, U12s are still racing after they cross the line, teenagers already know when to punch the air!

Dan Edwards & Phil Wilks made it a 1-2 for Sotonia CC in the 4th cat event. The race being shortened after James Fuller? (Portsmouth North End CC) came down on the tight left hander into St Thomas Street. Fuller was on the floor for a good fifteen minutes while paramedics treated a facial injury. Once restarted Edwards escaped on the back of the circuit and Wilks made it across just in time for the sprint which Edwards took.

Samuel Sturgeon (NRG Sportsmassage.co.uk) won the 30 minutes + 2 laps 3rd category race. Sturgeon proving the strongest in the sprint ahead of Luke Gray (Trek Cross Collective), third last year and Max Webber (Andover Wheelers). The packed programme also included a 20 minute Corporate Challenge which had the crowds cheering everyone on.
