Hayden Allen made it back-to-back victories while Louise Hamilton was fastest woman in the Otley CC 50-mile time trial hosted in North Yorkshire on Sunday.

The pre-event talk surrounded former 24-hour National champion Andy Jackson’s comeback after crashing during this year’s running of the 24-hour title but Hayden Allen’s win quietened the crowd.

The victorious Allen (THRE Datawolves RT) made it consecutive wins in as many days after ten-mile victory on Saturday.

Allen crossed the line with a time of 1-48-24 to claim his fifth win of the season.

Andy Jackson (AeroCoach) – returning from injury due to a crash sustained in last month’s National 24-hour Championship – was the last rider out of the blocks and had the chance to better Allen’s time but fell 1-33 short of the winning time.

Jackson’s next endeavour will be tackling the National 12-hour Championship which is due to be staged in a week’s time on the 11th August in East Anglia.

Completing the podium, Stephen Ayres (Bronte Wheelers) finished third with a time of 1-50-32.

Louise Hamilton (Mountain Goat Coaching) powered to victory, making it consecutive event wins.

Hamilton clocked a time of 2-24-51 to give her a lead of over eight minutes to second place.

Claire Jessop (Otley CC) was the woman in second place with a time of 2-33-09.
