Pearson Wins National Junior Championships
Barnard Castle, County Durham Promoted by: British Cycling North East Region Event: 2nd July 2011 Report: Snowdon Sports PORT Talbot Wheelers' Daniel Pearson is the 2011 National Junior Road Race Champion after taking a solo win in the title race in County Durham. Pearson timed his effort well, biding his time in the bunch for the early laps of a circuit around Barnard Castle before latching on to a five-rider break which went clear with just eight miles remaining. But by the line he was by himself, taking the win in style. Two separate breaks of six riders had dominated the early miles of the title race, which covered three laps of a large circuit to the North of the town before switching on to a smaller circuit to the south which they covered three times. At one point the first break, which had gone clear on the first lap, had two minutes on a chasing group and almost three minutes on the bunch. That included Jack Penrice (Science in Sport.com), Jack Bowyer (Team Wallis CHH), Sam Boast (Cycle Sport Pendle) and Rapha Condor duo Lawrence Carpenter and Joe Fox. But they were gradually pulled back, and by the bell lap the race had come together - but not for long. Another break went clear - this time just five-strong - and gained around 30 seconds on the bunch, with eventual winner Pearson having slotted in the front group alongside Dante Carpenter (Asfra RT), Alex Peters (CC Hackney), Alex Bottomley (Fietsen Tempo) and Jim Lewis (Glendene CC). But by the line Pearson had edged off the front to ensure victory, while ten seconds back Glendene CC's Jim Lewis took second and Fietsen Tempo's Alex Bottomley third. More soon. Results: 1 Daniel Pearson (Port Talbot Wheelers) 2:58:00 2 Jim Lewis (Glendene CC) @ 10sec 3 Alex Bottomley (Fietsen Tempo) @ same time _______________ "The most important thing in life is not to have the most, but to need the least.” Plato (my favourite Disney character). |

Rhys summed it up I feel. You really cannot put into words just how big a deal a National RR title is, especially these days. Bigger and better things to follow?
It seems the PT Elite rides really can produce champions. Although let's see how the two 'Elite' riders have got on since:   _______________ The Force is strong in this one... |

As all the guys have said, a big Chapeux Dan.
Winning the nationals is a big achievement in anyones book, but to win the road race as a "FIRST YEAR" Junior is something special. At this age, the strength and power of one additional years growth really does matter, and yet you have ridden away from a class field, something very few are capable of... I watch your progress with interest. |
