More controversial than Peter Sagan’s elbow, there have had to be some adjustments to the overall and cumulative points standings due to an error in recording the PBs from last year.
Fortunately, I’m not going to be thrown off the tour, and the results have been corrected.
Fewer riders were out last week, and therefore everyone came out with winning points, with Alison Morton gaining maximum points for the week.
The Guardian Cup points are below, and with corrected results, we now have joint leaders with Steve Marlow and Paul Connor, and Anthony Booth in 3rd place. Obviously, as can be seen, there is no round 5 (not a mistake) as there was no club 10 for that week due to road works.

Also, below, is the points tally for the trophy for the cumulative points gained over 7 events out of 10 for the fastest time recorded each week. A simple formula, if you get the fastest time, you gain 25 points. Steve Marlow has gained the most points thus far this year. The more events you enter, the better chance you have of winning, so come and have a go!
