Sat Nav Needed… Hafren CC duo Coe & Filek turned in another good performance in the 2up series at Wrekinsport 10TT Wednesday evening, finishing 5th with a time of 23:40. Another mishap with fixing bolts resulted in Filek having to compete without aerobars on the fast course, putting additional pressure on Coe to sustain a blistering pace on the front in an attempt to preserve joint first in the overall standings.
Confusion over the route at mile 9 resulted in the pair making an extra lap of the final roundabout and several young mothers with children gasping at the language heard at that point. Technically this cost the pair 15 seconds, which initially was badged a penalty for stupidity, although red mist was seen to be spraying out of lead man Coe, and in all likelihood improved the overall time of the Hafren duo.
Last night’s result was another 30 second improvement on the previous outing which itself was a 2 up PB for the duo.
Things look intresting going into the final round which is on home soil on the fast Welshpool course … no pressure boys 🙂
