Kernow Racing Team 10

Steve Lampier (Kernow Racing Team) broke the course record on his way to winning the Kernow Racing Team 10, while Eve Sealy (Tri-Logic) was quickest woman.

There were also road bike victories for Alex Boswell (Kernow Racing Team) and Beth Berriman (Penzance Wheelers) in the open and women’s events respectively.

The S37/10 course saw competitors head out and back along the B3293 through the Goonhilly Downs to the turn past Garras.

The event attracted a record 78 entries including 23 women and 30 road bikes. Kernow Racing have put the increase in road bike entries down to a league they have designed over their four open events.

The course record was broken by Lampier who has returned to racing following a three-year absence and it was his first event as a veteran rider.

Lampier wanted to thank Kernow Racing and said that it was good to be back after a hard winter of training.

The Kernow Racing Team rider looks forward to a season of casual racing while focusing on his new job at the AG2R development squad.
