How did i end up winning the Lotus league? I never set out to win it, the 3 mile pan flat wind exposed circuit hardly suits a rider weighing less than 10 stone, the corners on the circuit were hardly technical either so bike handling and power to weight ratio didn't count like it has in probably all my other wins, i knew i could do well but not win it.
I was consistant,7 races in the top 5, experiance helped and my sprinting improved thanks to my sl2 frame along with being able to cope bumping off Dan Zagni a few times, luck played it's part too in the 2 races i missed through holiday's none of my closest rivals scored big points.
It wasn't just me doing well, Ben lead the league early on after winning round 4 but he wasn't so lucky when he was on holiday, with me winning both races with ipswich rider zagni 2nd in both, Chris was unlucky too, missing early rounds, then just as he was about to start his campaign his wife Jill broke her hand, still taking a 1st and 2nd in the last 2 rounds.
Tim Bonnett scored his first ever British Cycling points placing in the top 10 in 2 rounds.
Special thanks to Glenn Stanford who when he turned up paid his £7.50 and rode for Ben, Chris and myself to get a result, certainly one of my wins was thanks to him.
Josh won the Youth league too, domination by the extreme sports therapy team.
