Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2012

The Jason MacIntyre Memorial Trophy stays on Dooleys Cycles’ Arthur Doyle’s mantlepiece for another year, after he edged the win this morning in the Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2012 by a single second from teammate Iain Grant, with Gavin Shirley in 13th place backing them up for the Team prize in a time which we think is a new Scottish Competition Team Record by four seconds.

Paisley Velo’s Ben Peacock was third a meagre four seconds back.

10 Mile TT Championships
Arthur retains his title at the Scottish 10 Mile TT Championships 2012.

All three riders were off in the last 10 starters and so rode in cold rain which became steadily heavier throughout the event, the headwind to the turn becoming stronger and perhaps being countered somewhat by the increasing volume of traffic on the Langbank – Port Glasgow road.

Second place by only one second, Iain Grant.
10 Mile TT Championships
Ben Peacock looked very powerful, and took the bronze.

Rapha Condor pro James McCallum was fourth at 30 seconds behind Arthur, and when we saw him warming up on the course (one of only a handful of riders we spotted doing so), we thought he was taking the event seriously and looked very, er, Sharp.

10 Mile TT Championships
Fourth for Jimmy, but the Tour Series crit in Kirkcaldy next Tuesday evening will be more his cup of tea.

There were a number of riders who impressed with their supple pedalling action and smooth style, but the top times came from guys who had the horsepower to battle the tough headwind into the slightly uphill outward leg, and hoof the 11t round in the tailwind back to the timekeeper – but with six riders getting under 21′ and a further 18 beating the 22′ mark, it shows that despite the horrid conditions for spectating, it wasn’t a slow morning.

Fastest Lady, Sian Tovey.

Sian Tovey (Dooleys Cycles) took the honours in the Ladies race, with a comfortable 27 second win over Christine McLean (Shetland Wheelers). Shelley Farrar (DTCC) taking the bronze medal a further 29 seconds back.

Only four Juniors registered times in their event, the low entry numbers surely being something of a worry, Nevis Cycles’ Ben Miller was the fastest from Craig Ward (Ythan CC) and Thomas Dees (Cuilan Wheelers).

First Junior, Ben Miller.

The Dooley Cycles guys who organised this event did a great job, with the marshalls, course markers and warning signs plentiful and well positioned, but I reckon the guy who was blatantly following his rider in his car, spare wheels and bike at the ready, WorldTour style, was lucky there didn’t appear to be any mobile commissaires out and about…

Bec CC Hill Climb – Dan Does The Double!

Not many riders throughout the History of the 52 years of the Bec CC Hill Climb event get to wear the mantle of 'Doing the Double' by winning both the Catford CC Hill & the Bec C C Hill Climbs. Dan Fleeman, Blue Sky Cycles, who until today was a 'Hill Climb Virgin', in his first attempt at this discipline, not only won both events, but also broke the 12 year old Bec C C Hill Record of 1.44.4 set in 1995 by Gary Dodd, Kingston Phoenix RC with an incredible 1.43.02.

La Vuelta 2019 – Our Final Review

We look back at the final five stages of the Vuelta 2019, a great race with hardly a dull moment which saw the emergence of yet more tremendously talented youngsters.

Le Tour de France 2012 – Stage 17: Bagnères-de-Luchon – Peyragudes, 144 km.

I wasn't sure about the 'blip' at La Toussuire when Froome distanced Wiggins in the finale - I thought it was 'mountain out of molehill' stuff. Although we did hear that Wiggins was 'raging', that night in his room. But today, there seemed little doubt that a message was being sent; 'I can drop you any time I want.' The body language and facial expressions around the team aren't relaxed, happy or positive. But there's little doubt now that Brad will win - barring Acts of God.

Jim Cusick – The New Scottish 100 Mile TT Champion

"Cheers Ed! In pub at Evanton and had a few. Brought up touring bikes and off to Ullapool then Hebrides for a week. Reception poor but give it a try..." That was Jim Cusick's (Glasgow Couriers) reply to our congratulatory text message and interview request after he had just won his first 100 mile title on the familiar roads (if you're involved in Scottish testing) around the Cromarty Firth.

Wilson Renwick – Scottish “Olympic TT” Champion for 2018

It’s two years since Jim Cusick first tipped VeloVeritas off on the fact that there was a top jumps jockey riding bike races in Scotland. Wilson Renwick (RT 23) was the man and in the recent Tour of the Meldons the 37 year-old originally from Hawick but now based in the Highlands won his first Scottish title, the ‘Olympic Time Trial.’ It was his first Scottish medal in only his third Scottish Championship ride; previously he had ridden the ’10’ champs at Bishopton and also contested the ‘Olympic’ TT on one previous occasion.

James McCallum – “I hadn’t realised how cool this sport is”

We make no apology for featuring Endura Racing again - they're out there, getting on with the business of pro bike racing. The Tour of the Med, Haut Var, Murcia and now - Singapore. We caught up with former British criterium champion and reigning British omnium champion, James McCallum to get the low down on one of the richest crits around - (he was on the way to the supermarket when we spoke to him, but don't tell anyone, those glam pros aren't supposed do the 'trolley thing.')

Copenhagen Six Day 2019 – Nights One, Two and Three

The cannon fires, the smoke clears, then the drums, those damn drums! But it’s OK, it’s just the intro to Paul Delicato’s 1976 Euro Disco smash, ‘Cara Mia.’ Yes, we’re at the final Six Day of the season; the Copenhagen Six Day 2019.

Lotto Zesdaagse van Hasselt 2007 – Day 4

Kris was just telling us that oxygen cylinders are banned from track centres under UCI regulations. Marc piped-up; "that's a pity, I could have done with a cylinder strapped to my back on the first night!" He's one of the boys now, amazing how much difference a couple of days can make to relationships. It's wet outside and very warm in here, there was a big junior and ladies programme in the morning, complete with the usual crashes. Belgian junior track racing is not for those of a nervous disposition.
