Steve Kane (Brighton Excelsior CC) stormed to victory by more than a minute in the Southern Counties CU 25 on the G25/43 on Sunday.

On a new course which passes near Walliswood in Surrey, Kane put 1:24 between himself and his closest challenger Dale Lush (Kingston Phoenix CC), who himself finished comfortably ahead of his nearest challenger Mark Newton (Elite Cycling) in third.

It was a damp road and chilly conditions for the riders despite some bursts of sun, as Kane’s victory contributed to an overall win for Brighton Excelsior in the team race as well as adding to the individual fourth he took on Saturday at the Southern Counties CU 10.

Dominic Hill (Bec CC) took fourth, finishing just a second behind Newton on 1:01.23, whilst James Stuart (Norwood Paragon CC) was fifth and David Shepherd (GS Stella) sixth.

Steve Dennis, who finished eighth, was denied a much stronger finish by a penalty of 2:40 for a late start.

The fastest woman finisher was Julie Chasin (Twickenham CC) with a time of 1:11:59.
