After 4 rounds things are starting to settle down, and with 10 rounds still to go, there is still time to start your campaign and snatch victory, remember the Guardian Cup [handicap] and the Scratch cup are won by the best 5 counting rounds, the Road Bike Challenge is a cumulative total.

Stretching out an early lead in the G/Cup is Dave Cope, a clear 13 points ahead of Stu Ward with Alex Chaffey-Green in 3rd

Stu Ward still leads the Scratch cup from Craig Lee with Alex Chaffey-Green in 3rd place but it’s close.

The Road Bike Challenge has a new leader in Richard Morgan from Dave Cope with Andy Milligan and Dave Cope in equal 3rd, just 15 points separate the top 5.
