Bloy and Burgess take the top prizes in Norfolk
Kay Burgess (Kings Lynn CC) and Daniel Bloy (Team Velovelocity) finished top male and female in the Wisbech Wheelers 25-mile time trial in Norfolk on Sunday.
Bloy led the way in the men’s category and secured victory in his second Wisbech Wheelers event of 2018 – this time over the 25-mile distance rather than 10.
The 40-year-old Velovelocity rider stormed his way to a second successive victory in the Wisbech 25 and finished atop by a comfortable margin of 1-20 posting a time of 52-42.
Jim Boyle (NOPINZ) took the next step of the podium as he reached the finish in 54-02, while Bloy’s Velovelocity team-mate David Proctor (Team Velovelocity) capped off the podium places in third, 39 seconds behind Boyle in 54-41.
Kay Burgess (Kings Lynn CC) raced to her first category win of the season and third top three beating Team Bottrill’s Sarah Senderski. Burgess led the way with a time of 1-04-37 which was enough to see her claim victory by 52 seconds.
Senderski (Team Bottrill) was second in 1-05-29 whilst Sally Withey (Team Swift) was third female, 2-50 behind Senderski in 1-08-19.
Overall winner Bloy was the fastest veteran of the day with Kay Burgess fastest female veteran.
Jon Talbot (Wisbech Wheelers) was the fastest home club rider of the day – finishing just outside of the top 10 in 11th with a time of 58-58.
