It was a case of youth v experience at the head of affairs in a super-fast senior race in the third round of the Cyclo-Cross National Trophy at Hetton Lyons near Sunderland on Sunday. With series leader Matt Ellis not travelling to the North East from his Brussels base, a new winner was set to emerge, but the outcome was in doubt until the last few hundred metres.
After the initial charge, in which local rider Stuart Wearmouth (Science In Sport) set the early pace, it was Barrie Clarke (Diamondback), four times the series winner, who hit the front. He was quickly joined by under-23 series leader Shaun Snodden (Ace RT), with Dave Collins (Pedal Power Loughborough) suspended in no-man's land in third and Stuart Blunt (Team Corridori) and Nick Craig (Diamondback) contesting fourth place. Everyone expected the experienced Clarke to take a final sprint, but Snodden put clear daylight between himself and the former Champion to become the first under-23 rider to win a senior Trophy race. Second was enough to give Clarke the overall lead, but he should have both Ellis and Roger Hammond to contend with when the series continues in Leicestershire on 9th December.
The ever competitive Veteran category produced the third wearer of the yellow jersey in as many outings, when victory for Mick Bell (London Fire Brigade CC) established a clear points lead over his main rivals. Elsewhere the established order remained intact, with victories for Sammy Cotton (youth), Isla Rowntree (women),Steven Roach (junior)and Les Lloyd (Vets 50+). However the under 14s contest gained a new leader when David Wood (VC Deal) added a win to his two second places to make the long trip north worthwhile.
