Firstly, a big thank you to those who gave up their time to make sure the TT could run! Ros Spencer and Suzy Watkins for timekeeping, and our incredible marshals: Chris Hill, Andy Haas, and Julia Terry πŸ™

I’d say tonight was probably the warmest early-season TT we’ve had! Although there was a divisive south-easterly windβ€”perfect for those wanting a push up Puddletown Road, but it made for a bit of a slog along the bottom straight πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It was definitely quick for some!

Firstly, the PBs:

  • Jasmine Bailey broke the sub-30 barrier (29:57) for the first time and took 90 seconds off her PB πŸ™Œ
  • James Rowat has been in incredible early-season form, today taking 30 seconds off his course best (23:29).
  • Will Terry, only 12, was flying around the courseβ€”so much so, the timekeepers nearly missed him as he stormed across the line! He’s now nearly a minute quicker than last year, setting a 25:31.
  • There were also PBs for Robbie Fall (23:18) and Joe Turner (24:27). Chapeau 🎩

There were most likely othersβ€”sorry if I missed you!

Top Times:

  • Brett Wheeler continued his great form with the quickest time of the night: 21:14 πŸ₯‡
  • Not too far back was ultra racer turned TT rider (for the night) Angus Young with a rapid 21:54 πŸ₯ˆ
  • Rounding out the podium was runner and doughnut influencer Matt Stanbury with an impressive 22:41 πŸ₯‰

Quickest Female on a Road Bike:

  • Emma Needham – 27:08, narrowly beating course debutant Roanna Warren, who set a 27:31.

TT Bikes – A tight battle for the top spots:

  • Returning to racing, Alex Rowling πŸ₯‡ pipped Robbie Fall πŸ₯ˆ for the quickest time, setting 23:06 and 23:14 respectively.
  • Not too far behind was James Rowat πŸ₯‰ with 23:29.

Quickest Female Time:

  • Blisteringly quick from Megan Youngβ€”her first outing on the course, and she set a time of 24:50. Kudos! πŸ‘

Thanks, everyone, for racing. Great to see so many new riders at the TTβ€”I hope it was enjoyable!
