Yet another TT podium stuffed Bank Holiday weekend for Brighton Mitre

The Spring Bank Holiday weekend is always a busy weekend on the TT calendar and this one was no different. The Mitre were well represented at the 10 and the Hilly 10 over in Steyning on the Bank Holiday Monday.

Tracy Williams (25:39) continued her winning ways with another win in the female category in the 10TT.  Cris Coxon somehow rode a sub-20 (19:59 to be precise) with a semi-flat tyre and sealant all over his skinsuit, but was beaten into second.  It would take someone pretty special to beat Cris I’d say, and in this case it was America’s cup star Matt Rossiter, who in less than ideal weather zapped a full 50 seconds off the course record and rode a 18:24. John Franklin (21:00) rode to the third spot on the overall and TT bike podiums. Tom Houghton, Brian Molloy, James Danvers, Donald Parker along with Robin Johnson also turned out and flew the Mitre Flag. The Mitre won the team prize for the event.

In the Hilly10, Cosmo Derangi (on a road bike but not yet in possession of a Mitre Skinsuit! 😉 ) rode to 2nd on the overall podium (8 seconds behind Pat Wright of Paceline RT on his TT bike) and 1st in the Road Bike Cat with a 25min on the nose, a full 3mins 22sec ahead of his nearest road bike contender. Jack Smith (27.01) rode to 2nd on the TT bike podium and 3rd overall. Also turning out for the Mitre were Philip Waldman and James Danvers with the Mitre securing the second team win of the day.  It was great to see Alwyn and his boys half way up the beacon encouraging / taunting (* delete as appropriate) riders along.  Thanks to Cris and Alwyn for the for the photos and videos.  Apologies for there not being any of the 10 but I wasn’t there early enough to catch the action.
