Round 3 of the @yorkshirecx winter series yesterday was a wild, wet, muddy affair but also Thomas Nabb’s best result yet this winter with 7th in the U16 event 🙌 📷 Bernard Marsden @BikeFutures @ChevinCyclesLTD @MASdesignLeeds @SANTINI_SMS @NuffieldHealth @OtleyCycleClub

10th place today for Thomas Nabb in @yorkshirecx round 2. Would have been a higher finishing position were it not for a last lap crash, but the legs are clearly getting better 💪 📷 Bernard Marsden @BikeFutures @ChevinCyclesLTD @MASdesignLeeds @SANTINI_SMS @NuffieldHealth

First night of the @mrtl_track autumn series last night, with Alex Hodgkins in action for the team. After a couple of illnesses either side of his off-season, it was a steady but solid start for Alex, with a couple of top 6 finishes in the scratch events. 💪 @BikeFutures

A trio of Cullens conquered the 60th @3peakscxrace on Sunday - Tom 58th male, Meg 14th female and Ian 63rd vet 🙌 Well done team! 📷 Bernard Marsden @BikeFutures @ChevinCyclesLTD @MASdesignLeeds @SANTINI_SMS @NuffieldHealth @OtleyCycleClub

Three of the team in action in our home hill climb event on Saturday: Daniel Middlebrooke and Thomas Nabb 1st and 2nd in the youth classification with Emily 2nd in the women’s GC, all three riders bettering their PBs from last year 👏 @BikeFutures @ChevinCyclesLTD @MASdesignLeeds

Kudos to Tom Cullen for expert piloting in round 6 of the National Disability & Para-cycling Road Series on Sunday. Tom and his tandem partner Josh were runners up in the event and then Will Jowett also came home a solid 4th in the following 3/4 support race. 👊 @yorksport1

When he wins.. He wins big! In conditions of heavy rain yesterday, Christos Tzelis took on the Ilkley Triathlon and set the fastest run and bike times to win the event outright. Another outstanding performance, well done Christos 👏 @BikeFutures @MASdesignLeeds @ChevinCyclesLTD

Round 1 of the YCCA series today and Thomas Nabb’s luck is still out. After a good start he suffered a snapped chain and had to run nearly a whole lap to get his spare bike. To then refocus and finish around 15th place was a fine ride under the circumstances. Well done Thomas 👌

@Hopetech Supercross round 4 today with Thomas Nabb getting a better start than midweek, then sadly needing a bike change after a flat, but still coming home in a solid 13th place. 💪 @BikeFutures @MASdesignLeeds @ChevinCyclesLTD @SANTINI_SMS @OtleyCycleClub @NuffieldHealth

Great win for Tom Cullen today in the 2/3/4 race at York, away for the bulk of the race in break of three and then sprinting for the win. Chapeau Tom! 🙌 @Helloooitsmetom @BikeFutures @ChevinCyclesLTD @SANTINI_SMS @NuffieldHealth @MASdesignLeeds @OtleyCycleClub

A clean sweep of sprint wins for Archie Gill at track league last night. 👊 @BikeFutures @ChevinCyclesLTD @OtleyCycleClub @MASdesignLeeds @NuffieldHealth @SANTINI_SMS

More CX action yesterday in round 2 of the @Hopetech Super Cross series. After a less than ideal start Thomas Nabb found himself in 3rd to last position but then put in great battle to move his way up through the field and finish in a fine 8th place (34th overall). Good work! 🙌

Round 2 of Monday Night Track League last night, with strong rides from Daniel Middlebrooke and Oscar Hall.  Daniel scored a fine 29 points and two wins in group 2 (including a dominant field-lapping final scratch race) and Oscar took two top 5 positions in a tough group 1. 💪

3 of our riders contested the Spatzwear races at the Brownlee circuit on Saturday.  In the Open 3/4 race we had 2 podium places with Will Jowett 2nd and James Marston 3rd.  Next up in the 100km (!) Open 2/3 race, Tom Cullen sprinted to 5th having also taken a mid-race prime. 💪

Thomas Nabb got his winter CX season off to solid start yesterday in round 1 of the 2024-25 @nwcca League, organised by Rossendale RC👏 @BikeFutures

Track is back! The first round of Monday Night Track League saw Oscar Hall representing the team in group 1, picking up a couple of solid top 5 placings in the Elimination and Win & Out races. 👏 @OtleyCycleClub @ChevinCyclesLTD @MASdesignLeeds @BikeFutures

No fewer than nine of our riders in action yesterday at Wyke: Daniel Middlebrooke (podium), Oscar Hall, Thomas Nabb, Will Jowett, Emily Middlebrooke (podium), Tom Cullen, Alex Hodgkins (podium), James Luxton and Jacques Goetz. Well done everyone 👏 📷 Bernard Marsden

More stage racing with the North West Youth Tour, a 3-stage national youth series event - An eventful weekend but our first year riders Daniel Middlebrooke & Thomas Nabb stayed safe and put in gutsy rides over the three days. Well done, guys 💪 📷 @EllenIsherwood @BikeFutures

A brutal 4 days of racing concluded today for Zack Miles at the SD Sealants @JuniorTourWales, finishing 59th in the final GC and 23rd 1st year junior. A fine showing for the team at the very highest level, well done Zack 🙌 @BikeFutures
