Jonathan Dorward (Army Cycling) took his first ever open victory at the Sotonia CC 10, while Kirsty McSeveney (a3crg) was a clear women’s winner.

Dorward, from Northumberland, smashed his personal best time in ideal conditions to post a winning time of 18 minutes and 37 seconds.

The 22-year-old was only taking part in his third open time trial after finishing seventh in the Inter-Service TT Championships on his last open outing in May.

The P612 saw riders compete out and back along the A303 starting at Picket Twenty Road and turning at Bullington Cross.

Conditions were ideal for fast times with a warm temperature and still wind which resulted in a host of personal bests being recorded.

Dorward took victory by 25 seconds and was the only rider to break the 19-minute mark.

Matthew Buckley led the charge behind taking second (19-02) for Velo Club St Raphael who placed four riders inside the top six.

The battle for third could not have been closer with 15-year-old juvenile rider Bobby Buenfield (Velo Club Venta) clocking 19-47 which was matched by quickest veteran Kevin Baker (Velo Club St Raphael).

Mark Lisk (3C Cycle Club) was fastest rider in the road bike category clocking 23-41.

In the women’s event McSeveney recorded a winning time of 22 minutes and six seconds which was two minutes and 19 seconds clear of her only opponent.

McSeveney, aged 41, from Fareham, finished second in the Lea Valley CC 10 on her last outing but went one better this time out adding another win to her collection.

Rebecca Pearce (Ridgeway Riders) was the only other woman competitor finishing second in 24-25.
