Race Report

46 MILE RACE

Only five seniors braved the unfavourable weather for the 46 mile event. Lined up facing Mr Frank Machon were D.Ecobichon, J.Tanswell, G.Audoire, G.Clark and L.Pollard from Barnet C.C who was on hoilday in the Island.

At the drop of the flag the riders were off on the first lap of the course which took them via the Route du Nord to Le Mourier. The course had to be completed by the seniors 12 times and the juniors 8. On the first lap L.Pollard set a fast pace with only Don Ecobichon managing to hold his wheel and soon opened a gap on the rest of the field. After 16 miles had been covered by the seniors the juniors were brought in only having to do 30 miles. With the two leaders working well together the main bunch could make no impression upon them.

With two laps to go J Collingwood and J Le Marquand were lapped by the leaders and later A Richardson met the same fate. As the riders entered the finishing straight it could be seen that it was going to be a very close finish, Ecobichon just getting the verdict by inches. Three and a half minutes laters the other five riders who made up the second bunch came into view. D Le Brocq a very promising junior won the sprint from G Audoire by a few feet them followed by J Tanswell, D Lidster and K de la Haye.
