The highlight of week 2 of the Brooks Cycles Track League was the Velodrome.org.uk sponsored round 1 of the Keirin League. After two keenly contested heats the final six riders put on a great display of speed and skill over this 3 lap event. As the pacer pulled off, Dave LeGrys launched an impressive attack to gain three lengths of his rivals. However as the riders entered the home straight the ever impressive Steven Hill judged his effort to perfection to win by half a length from Kian Emadi. Kian was the top points scorer on the night in the A Class events as he won the Devil and the 30 lap Scratch.
The B Class events again saw a two way battle between youth riders Declan Byrne and Alex Simmons with Declan winning three events to Alex?s one. Declan moves up next week to the A Class with Alex likely to follow him within a few weeks. With both riders under 16 years of age this clearly shows the success of the youth development programme at the track.
The C Class event saw a fine win by Mike Dean in the 6 lap scratch. Mike is back riding this season after a number of years away from racing with his first season being way back in 1980.
The youth events saw the points well spread over seven riders. Early season leader Sassan Emadi was the top scorer with six points.
The Freewheelers League saw 19 riders contest the 12 races with the top scorers in each group being, Group 1 Sam Green, Group 2 Josh Davis and Group 3 Aleshia Mellor.
