The team shows it's strength at Dunton again.

Author: Dan Patten

With only James Whatling missing from the startline, it was a strong team lining up for the 5th of Team Economic Energy's Circuit Series at Dunton on 24th July, and with attacks from the start it wasn’t too long into the race before I was away.

Soon joined by Billy-Joe Whenman (Wilier-Sport Beans) and Andy Lyons (Heron Cyclesport) and the three of us worked to establish a good gap over the field. Billy-Joe and myself began attacking about 5 or so laps from the end but neither of us were able to drop the other. After messing about for the last lap we were joined by Daniel Kogan and Steve Skuse (Wildside RT). Daniel was unlucky enough to have snapped his gear cable but, despite only having the option of 39/12 or 53/12, he showed his strength by digging deep and bridging up to our leading group. Billy-Joe, however, was not to be denied as he made the jump in what was a short sprint to the line to take the win. I just missed out on the win but took second place with Andy Lyons coming in third.

Martin Bryant and Ian Franklin also finished well, taking 10th and 13th respectively.
