Evans Sprints A Grade, Thomas Deflated, Davies Takes Win, Fairweather Scared

Brad Evans made a strong showing in the A grade taking out both the KOM and the win. This left many to speculate what went wrong. For the third week in a row the issue of not pulling laps reared its ugly head. There was speculation that some within the bunch didn't pull their fair share, however, this could not be confirmed as Evans was unavailable for comment. There were several strong attempts from David Ayre and Jeff Notman to forge a breakaway but they proved unsuccessful. Jon Richardson tried to go it alone but was not even given an inch by the peloton. Paul "Ten Men" Whitely made his pressence felt, but settled for forth due to a cold that has been hampering him for the last two weeks.

In the B grade, karma got the better of Stu Thomas who suffered a puncture on the second lap.

Honor Davies burgled the C grade in a sprint finish, after struggling over Berwick hill three times.

In other news James Fairweather is reported to be scared of the junior worlds track team. This was confirmed after Fairweather failed to show up to racing in Invercargil over the weekend. While we could not reach Fairweather his PR spokesperson said "Jimmy was scared he wouldn't be able to pull a lap in the bunch. He also said he wasn't sure if he could out sprint said juniors". So when will Jimmy come out of hiding? Only time will tell.

In other news Joel Davies has terrible spelling and grammar

It's amazing the same names keep appearing as doing some work or making a race of it. The only riders Evans really humiliated are the other 15 or so who didn't take a turn or try and make a race of it.
Atleast Stu Thomas' money went to someone who road hard, hard fun and deserved it.
As for Honor, she never struggles!
