Ribble Pro Cycling rider Simon Wilson took victory by just six seconds in the Withington Wheelers Open 10 on Saturday. Molly Horsley Frost won a very competitive women’s category in 25.28.
The event was reduced from the originally planned 25-mile distance to a 10 due to roadworks, with the J2/3 course used instead.
And it was Wilson who was quickest on the day, tearing round in 20.20 to take top spot. Veteran rider Mark Turnbull was second, finishing in 21.26 for TORQ Performance.
Third fastest was Joseph Dobson of Manchester Bicycle Club, 21 seconds off the winning time in 21.41.
Completing the top three veteran riders were Adrian Hughes of Seamons CC in 22.27 and team mate Alan Chorley in 22.29.
Just six seconds separated the top three women, with Vision Racing’s Horsley Frost coming out on top in 25.28. Just two seconds slower was Naomi Wright of Manchester Triathlon Club and in third was Horsley Frost’s team mate, Claire Harrison, in 25.34.
Hughes and Chorley were joined by John Spearman as they claimed the team prize for Seamons CC. Spearman finished in 11th with 22.48. Tristan Pilling of Team SB Hub was quickest junior, completing in 22.45.
