Resolven in South Wales is the venue for the Bynea CC 10-mile event on Sunday, with national ranking system Spindata predicting a close-run thing between the top riders.
Port Talbot Wheelers’ Ben Jones and Chris Gibbard of the promoting Bynea CC are both predicted to clock 20-12, while behind them talented junior Finlay Tarling (Willebrord Wil Vooruit) and Anthony Jones (VMCC powered by Y Beic) are also expected to be in contention for the podium.
And of the female entrants Bethan Ouseley (Pembrokeshire Velo) and Hollie Labunsky (Port Talbot Wheelers) are expected to do well.
Elsewhere, the Maidenhead and District CC 29.5-mile takes place near Frieth in Berkshire, where Team Bottrill’s Kate Allan looks to take overall victory after placing second last year.
The multiple reigning national champion is tipped by Spindata to clock around 1-08-54, with top male expected to be Theo Tadros (trainSharp) around 4-5 minutes slower.
