Jean Spies Wins Minet Park Grand Prix Jean Spies won todays (13th June) Elite Minet Park Grand Prix at Hillingdon race circuit. Jean was supported by team mates Adam Gent back racing now home from university, Doug Baldock and super talented youth rider Tom Laker. The race was run off at a fast pace, which was helped along by four cash primes. Anyone who has seen Jean race when cash primes are on offer will know that this will give him an unfair advantage on the rest. He only managed second on the first prime, missed out completely on the next one when three riders escaped off the front. So amends had to be made for the last two, Jean took the third from a bunch sprint and then sprinted well clear to take the last and then just kept going. Seven riders joined him and with only 10 laps to go the group put their heads down and stayed clear. Coming into the last corner, Jean was lying in sixth place, once out of the corner he launched his sprint and held it all the way to the line. At the line Jean had enough time to zip up his top and raise his arms in victory. Youth rider Tom Laker rode a superb race to finish in the bunch.

Regional Road Race Champs The Regional road race champs held on 31st May proved and eventful and hard day for the Ingear Development Squad. With Joshua Cunningham and Gyles Wingate not starting due to injuries and illness the squad was already weakened. Then in the first few kilomotres Jean Spies punctured and jammed his chain after the wheel change, 2 minutes down, that was his race over. With a super hot day and hard course just Adam Cotterell and James Bowtell were left in the race by the end. A break went and Adam managed to get across to it about half distance. With 2 laps to go the break split with 8 riders going clear. Adam sprinted home 2nd in his group to take 10th place and first under 23 rider. James Bowtell rode an excellent race aianst the regions top seniors to finish safely in the bunch and take the Junior title. A special mention must be made of squad coach Clive Copeland from the OneLife Fuga RT who stayed in till the last lap with the main bunch and came home only a couple of minutes down.
