We had 43 riders for the opening TT of the season 🙌 It was incredible to see so many people out enjoying the race despite the sub-arctic weather 🥶
A huge thanks to the volunteers who braved the baltic conditions to get the race on. Our timekeepers; Ros, Marcia & Jeremy. Helping on the line, Laurie and Graham. And our Marshalls Julia, Darren and Sam 🙏
