It couldn’t get more exciting with just 1 round to go in this year’s club time trial championships.
The Guardian Cup is now hotly contested, with Paul Connor now only 1 point ahead of Tony Booth after spending most of the season way ahead. But, as more riders get to riding the maximum of 7 qualifying rounds, points do tend to get closer as the competition draws to an end.
This means that the Guardian Cup can’t be decided until next week, and the last race will be an all out furious rush to gain more points than you’ve gained before, just to either keep a lead, or steal the championship!
The Scratch points are also pulling closer, with a change at the top as Dan Robson jumps 3 points ahead of Colin Carthy before the last round.
All the play for – so don’t miss next week!!
