@Train Sharp Chris, Strongest at VC ST Rapahel Hardriders 16.5


Chris McNamara (Nuun-sigma London RT) convincingly won the VC ST Raphael “Hard Riders”16.5 time trial, one week after finishing 10th at the Perfs Pedal race on the same course. Worthing-Based, TrainSharp coach McNamara, clocked 38 :10 for the two lap test on the Portsdown Hill circuit, giving him 30 second winning margin over Gary Chambers (Fareham Wheelers)

with Dean Robson (NOPINZ) a further 35 seconds back in third place.
A big field of 88 riders faced the timekeeper in drizzling rain for this early season race, part of the new South District Sporting TT series.
In the preceding “Road Bike” event, Kim Little (Gillingham & Dist Wh) recorded 41:22, to finish over a minute clear of Ross Phelps (Royal Leamington Spa CC) with Sotonia CC rider, James Peckham third in 43:05. The early starters enjoyed the better conditions before the weather closed in, a stiff westerly wind blowing the riders across Portsdown Hill, the same wind making the descent to Southwick a little “sketchy” Organiser Simon Berogna briefly led the race, his time of 40.10 eventually placing him 5th. Early season racing continues in the south with the A3CRG 10 next Saturday (27th) at Liphook. Another bumper field of 110 riders, twice last year’s number, will get to try out the course being used for the National 10 mile championships in August.

Chris McNamara
“ A fantastic course, obviously I know it well from Perfs, the wind was the biggest factor today, I am so glad I did not use super deep front wheels, it was incredibly sketchy on the main road downhill, you had to come off the tri bars and try and stay upright. I felt pretty confident this morning, the plan was to ride a negative split, I did not quite mange it”

Gary Chambers
“First race of the season always a nervous one, I was pretty nervous this morning, you never know how you are going. Windy, that was the main thing today, it was dodgy on the downhills, absolutely rapid across the top, crosswinds on the descent and the exposed section on the steep part was lethal, unable to pedal really, just trying to keep my position and get down. I live local so I ride the course quite a lot in training, I did a lap the other week on my training wheels and I knew I was going pretty well compared to that. I am happy with the result, I wanted top three, you always want to win but Chris is top rider”.

Kim Little
“Good, the hills suited me, I went hard on the first lap, the tail wind on the top section made it fast, I rode with a power meter but it was hard to keep to a number with the hills. I enjoyed it , an excellent event, there should be more hill time trials”
