Peter Tadros (In Gear-Quickvit Trainsharp RT) was just three seconds ahead of his nearest rival as he took victory in the Bec CC 10-mile time trial on the G10/57 at Broadbridge Heath in West Sussex on Saturday.
The veteran clocked 20.11 to win from Mark Emsley (Team ASL360) with James Rix (Crawley Wheelers) completing the podium in third, another seven seconds back.
But the following day, Emsley would go on to get the better of Tadros in Brighton Mitre’s hilly 10-mile event by ten seconds.
And with a plus of 6.12 on his age standard, Tadros was also the best veteran on standard, with Keith Lea (Paceline RT) second with +5.49. Madelaine Lee-Smith (Oxted CC) was the pick of the women with 23.58.
Improving Tadros has finished second and third in recent events on the same course, clocking 20.16 to place second in the Old Portlians CC 10 on May 7, then finishing third in the Elite Cycling 10 on May 21, with 20.29.
And among his previous results this season are victories in the Worthing Excelsior 25 and East Sussex CA 15, as well as second in both stages of the Southdown Bikes time trials in February.
