Ellis Is Mallory Ace

Report courtesy of British Cycling

Matt Ellis (Ace RT) made it two wins out of two at Mallory Park in Leicestershire on Sunday to take a commanding lead in this season's Cyclo-Cross National Trophy series.

Ellis again rode away from his nearest rivals, leaving them to fight out the minor places. Nick Craig (Diamondback) emerged from the chasing group to take second place, followed by Stuart Blunt (Corridori), Barrie Clarke (Diamondback) and Carl Sturgeon (Be One Bikes).

Although Ellis holds a commanding lead, he is unlikely to make the long journey to the North East from his Brussels home in three weeks time for round 3, leaving the battle for the overall series an intriguing one. Craig and Blunt are the most likely to benefit from Ellis's absence, but the possible return of Roger Hammond after injury could also affect the outcome. If Hammond doesn't return for the Sunderland round, he should be back for round 4 at Ibstock in December, when he will be head to head with Ellis for the first time this season.

In the junior and youth competitions Steven Roach (Rugby Velo) and Sammy Cotton (Ancillotti UK) also repeated their victories in the opening round to strengthen their grips on their respective series, while Isla Rowntree (Stourbridge CC) moved to the head of affairs in the women's Trophy. The veteran competition again provided some of the day's best action, Paul Gilbert (Universal CC) edging out Mick Bell (London Fire Brigade CC) in a sprint finish. With series leader Martin Eadon coming in fourth, Gilbert drew level with him on points, but takes the leader's jersey by virtue of his better performance in the latest round.
