Race Report: Final race in Cyprus a success!
The third and final race of the Cyprus Sunshine
Cup 2011 took place in a very hot and sunny Amathous. With Ben and Paul in Israel,
it was up to Chris and Alex to put in a strong performance and represent the team.
Alex was first off in the Junior men, and after a strong start loop he was tucked
in behind first place going into the first lap, a position which he held well, until
disaster struck following a crash, breaking his rear gear shifter. This left him
to ride singlespeed around a rather hilly course! Not wanting to give up, he railed
the descents to put in a strong performance and finish in an excellent 6th place…
not bad given the circumstances!
