| Glenrothes, Round 4
Race Report and Results
Round 4 of the Scottish Cyclo-cross Series took place at
Riverside Park in Glenrothes on Sunday.
James Fraser Moodie, Pedal Power, took every advantage possible
in winning the 15.5 mile race, with the series leader Iain
Nimmo missing from the line up and after trailing behind
Dan Whitehead until a puncture at half distance for Whitehead
moved Fraser Moodie into the lead which he held until the
end.
With overnight rain drying in the Autumn sunshine the conditions
were right for a fast and furious race. Early leader was
Craig Hardie, Gary Fisher UK from Whitehead and Kenny Kentley,
Velo Ecosse, in 4th spot was Kevin Barclay, Edinburgh Racers,
fresh from his win in the youth race 15 minutes earlier.
By the second lap Whitehead had edged into the lead from
Hardie and overall series contender Stephen Jackson, Glasgow
MBC, Fraser Moodie and James Melville, Glasgow United, were
making steady progress through the field after slow starts.
By lap 6 of the 14 lap race Whitehead punctured letting
Fraser Moodie move into the lead followed by Hardie and Jackson,
Whitehead rejoined in fifth place one minute behind the leader.
Whitehead moved up into second position by lap 9 pushing
Hardie back into third place and Melville had fought his
way up to fourth place. With three laps to go Melville passed
Hardie for third place with Fraser Moodie winning by 50 seconds.
In the youth
race the track based club 'Edinburgh Races' took
the top three places with local lad Kevin Barclay winning
from Ross Yates and Patrick Galbraith.
