William Gascoyne – Cyclocross National Champs 2016 and another NEWS FLASH!

Cyclocross National Championships 

Shrewsbury January 9th and 10th 2016

William Gascoyne – Third Place on the podium – Junior Men.

Riding for Sherwood Pines Cycles – Felt – Enve

Race Report:

Despite being on the front row I got a poor start with a slip on the first run up and a collision causing mechanical problems just after that.

This left me about ten seconds behind last place! Knowing I had a lot of work to do I composed myself and set about making up some places.

Within a lap I was in third place and I was battling for second with the leader in my sights. However the effort to fight my way back had taken its toll and I made a couple of mistakes in the running which allowed 2nd place to slip away. After that I slowed a bit but managed to hang on to third.

imageWe think that result is very credible, to make all those places up and finish in third place. Well done Will!
