19/06/2008 - Rain Stops Play as Magnier Shines

Brooks Cycles Track League Champion for the last three years Andrew Magnier returned to Newcastle last night to light up the event with some fantastic racing.

Magnier 'tested the water' in the opening 10 Lap Scratch with multiple attacks shreading the field before he was able to break away to take the victory from Kian Emadi and Steve Cronshaw. In the next race an early attack by Robert Lambton (Newport CC) meant the Devil was run off at an incredible pace. Magnier again effortlessly sprinted to the victory with Emadi again second with youngster Declan Byrne holding on for third

In the www.velodrome.org.uk Keirin League, Magnier won heat one, after fellow Brooks Cycles/Velodrome.org.uk rider Andrew Hewitt held up the field allowing him to break clear from Emadi and Lambton to beat the sprinters at their own game. Heat Two saw Spanish import David Alonso Castillo control the race from the front, coming in first across the line ahead of Cronshaw and Newcastle RC 2001/Polyprint Packaging's Tom Powell

In the B Class events Robert Crampton and Alex Simmons took fine victories, whereas Matthew Rotherham and Imogen Crooks did the same in the Junior League before rain forced the Track League to be abandoned

The Freewheelers events saw mulitple wins for Ben Darlington (Group 1), Luke Mansfield (Group 2) and Gloria Eden in Group 3
