Jan Scotchford emerged victorious in the women’s category as Fraser Martin and Richard Bideau had to share the top step of the podium in the Rossendale RC hilly 11-mile time trial on Saturday afternoon.

A year on after his second place to Rigby in the same event, Fraser Martin (Saint Piran) laid down the gauntlet with a time of 23-42, but with 29 riders still to finish after him, retaining his spot at the top would not be certain.

Twenty-eight riders crossed the line, and yet Martin sat alone at the top of the leaderboard. Richard Bideau (Pendle Forest CC), a five-time winner last season and the final rider to start the event, couldn’t replace Martin in first place – so he joined him.

Bideau matched Martin’s time of 23-42 – both taking an inaugural win of the new season.

Fraser Martin

With the pair sharing the win, Hayden Allen’s (THREDatawolves RT) efforts could only amount to a third place, 22 seconds behind with 24-04, but for an opening ride of the season, a positive start.

If Martin had managed to go one better than last year, surely Jan Scotchford (North Lancashire RC) would take the prize for most improved, going not one better, but 12 to be exact.

52-year-old Scotchford crossed the line in 30-35, only five seconds ahead of next best woman Karen Heppenstall (Sportstest RT) but after finishing 13th in last year’s event and shaving over a minute and a half off that time, she will be delighted with the significant improvement.

Heppenstall crossed the line in 30-40 whilst Amy Gornall (Secret-training CC) was third in 31-09.
