22 riders took to the start for round 9 of the Hafren CC TT series. This was the first outing of the series on the Forden circuit. Taking two laps of a very wet course, riders had to watch flooding on the bends and one stretch where the road was completely flooded. It was a dry, but cold night (for June), but the flooded roads made this a tough evening’s racing
Bryn Davies showed he is still the man to beat, a blistering 37:41 was nearly 2 minutes up on second placed Ian Nisbett 39.20 with Pete Thomas a further 25 seconds back on 39.45 to complete a familiar podium
Sam Holwill was the only junior on the night with an impressive 47:00, giving him 16th on the night
In the Women’s event Jacqui Loxam rode to top spot on the podium in her first TT of the series with a 50:50, pipping Sahrah Wilding 51:19 and Louise Downward 53:06. Kat Holwill pushed the top three hard with her 55:00 to place 4th
