Ahead of tonight’s TT (only just!!), here are the results after 3 Guardian Cup rounds.
Of note is Paul Connor, who gained another clutch of points this last week to launch him into 1st place overall, but also new member Clare Hargreaves, who bagged maximum points last week by shaving off 106 seconds from her previous week benchmark(!), and is an early season contender if all 7 rides are made to count for maximum points.
Just a last note, is that last week’s points were wrong due to a miscalculated PB from last year for Jim Duffy. This gave Ben Jones max points last week. The results are shown in the table below, and last week’s results will be updated.
