TT Results for 29th April
Who's superstitious? Henry Birchall started with number 13 but didnât make the start, flat Di2 battery. Mark German sporting lucky number 7 unshipped a chain but was able to ride back to the start and use the vacant no 13. But he also lost his visor part way round the course, so you decide!
Kit Walker, Total Tri Training, set a new course record this week, 21:15, benefitting from the warm evening with light winds to better last weeks record set by Chris Booth at 21:54.
Most riders set an improved time this week, probably a mixture of the better conditions but also getting used to the new course.
We need a start time keeper for 20th and 27th May. You donât need to do anything with the stopwatch other than to read the time and count down from 5. If you can help please let us know and we can arrange a quick bit of practice before the actual events.
