Weekend racing?
Yes, we’d be surprised if all of the planned racing this weekend goes ahead. For a start the Endurance Life CTS race on Anglesey has fallen by the wayside, due to rare blizzard and drifting snow conditions on the North Wales island…
Other races in the ‘snow path’ are the Mercia Hill Trial which at this stage looks to be on, the classic 32nd running of the Box Hill race which again has been posted as ‘on’ at 5pm this evening (Friday) for the Saturday AM race. Tomorrow also sees the Feel the Burns Hill race in Scotland.
Sunday sees the 30th running of the Woodentops promotion, the Soreen Stanbury Splash, with the website stating:
Tom Adams winner of The Stoop race will be defending his Soreen Malt Loaf run title and it could be a Tom – Tom battle. Tom Addison second at the ALS to Jonny Brownlee will be looking to improve on his fifth place of last year.
Sixteen times winner Ian Holmes is away skiing, ha, ha should have stayed at home! Does this open the door for another V40 to do well? Jo Buckley will be looking to make it a hat trick of wins, but she may not have it all her own way as Stoop winner Helen Fines is planning to race.
