NCRA 3/4 Scratch - St Neots CC Sawtry

Pete Bradshaw, Chris Fowler and Scott MacCann completed in the latest round of the NCRA summer series scratch race, this week hosted by St Neots CC was a 60 mile 3/4 race around the Sawtry course. With a break of 3 going from the gun, they quickly put a minute gap into the peleton. The break had 2 WVCC riders and a Peterborough rider, making it hard for the bunch to get into a rythm to chase them down. One of the breakaway riders punctured on lap 3 after which the gap started to come down. Just as we caught,  Phil Rayner of WVCC put in an attack and managed to get the breakaway riders and a few others to break away once again. The bunch, already tired quickly let an un-closable gap appear. Pete and Scott finished 11th and 14th, while Chris in his first real road race dropped out the bunch just before the last lap.
