Tanfield wins, Lankford fastest female at Hartlepool 10
Harry Tanfield (Team Qhubeka Assos) and Sophie Lankford (Jadan CycleSpace) were winners at the Hartlepool CC 10-mile time trial near Stockton on Tees on Sunday.
Tanfield, a pro road rider who is from nearby Great Ayton, clocked 19-44 to take the overall win by 34 seconds despite losing around ten seconds when he eased up too soon and had to pick up his pace again to get to the finish timekeepers.
Meanwhile Lankford was the lone female in the event, but the 25-year-old clocked a respectable time of 24-40 to place 15th overall.
Tanfield’s time left Darlington CC’s Marcel Schubert to settle for second place in 20-18, while Kris Atkin (Team Kirkley Cycles) was third, another 1-05 off the pace.
Fastest veteran and fourth overall was Cleveland Wheelers’ Rob Carter who clocked exactly 22 minutes, while fifth was Wilson-Jay Brown (PM Racing UK) in 22-45 for second veteran.
The road bike category was won by Rob Carter, while the prize for best veteran on standard went to Teesdale CC’s Russ Richardson with a plus on +5.02.
Tanfield – who has also entered next Saturday’s Richmond CC sporting 23.5-mile time trial – is looking forward to racking up more domestic time trial wins in 2021, having comfortably won both the events he rode in 2020.
Riders faced a headwind on the way back, but of course it assisted them on the way out. The T107 course starts near Cowpen Bewley Woodland Park and heads out towards the docks. They proceed up to circle the Nuclear Power Station roundabout and retrace.
