Blazing Saddles duo Tom Lane and Andy Langdown took victory in the Antelope RT Test Valley two-up 10-mile time trial, staged on the P140 course near Kings Somborne on Sunday.
The duo clocked 21-13 to take the win by 32 seconds from VC Venta rivals James Fox and Nick Tarmey, while third spot went to Sam Wadsley and Ryan Weston of Poole Wheelers.
In other categories, the fastest female duo was Kate Baker and Lucy Scott of the University of Bath CC with 25.38, and the top composite pairing was Tim Wallis (Southampton University RC) and Davey Betts (Team Swift), whose time of 22.53 gave them the eighth fastest time on the day.
It was not the first time that Lane and Langdown have teamed up successfully – they also won the Farnham Road Club two-up 25 last season, while more recently Lane placed third in the Frome and District 10-mile solo time trial just a couple of weeks ago.
The two-up event was part of a successful weekend of time trials put on by the Antelope RT, who also staged a solo 10-mile time trial on the same course the day before (see separate report).
