Rory Townsend - Wiv Sungod Wins 2022 Bec Road Race

Congratulations to Rory Townsend (Wiv Sungod) who won todays Bec road race in convincing style. Having remained at the front throughout, everytime he went up the Marsden Hill climb he found himself in an ever smaller group. Eventually finishing 3mins 43 ahead of second placed riders James Boyman (Hoops Velo). Over a minute further behind Oliver Hurdle (Stolen Goat Race Team) finished third.

In fact other than a group of around eight riders finishing 6mins 26 down most of the field was broken apart by the demanding course. Which led to some exciting racing throughout.

This years event runs at a significant financial loss to the club. But we're pleased to say we're still committed to running exciting racing and really we're just glad to be back promoting within the sport we all love. With a bit of luck next years numbers will be back to normal, when we hope to see you all again.

Many thanks to Dave Hayward who once again did a great job at capturing the action. Please download your favorite photo to help support our sport.
