2013 National Road Race Championships

[deptfordmarmoset]

Interesting to see how the roadmen are so well placed, pro riders from all levels in the top 10, but what a ride from Mr Peacock in 8th! Clearly inspired by having a "local national" championship to ride, I bet he's been out practising on the course...cheefky feller, but placing high up in that field certainly merits a very honourable mention.

Peacock closely followed by a Partridge, apparently

Peacock races for Paisley Velo - I checked out their kit and was disappointed they don't actually have a Paisley design. Missed opportunity in my book.

The second group was the elite men.

Ben Swift on the 'ramp', and then away.

Followed by Luke Rowe

.......and the excellent Robert Partridge

Last but far from least, Alex Dowsett.

Picture quality isn't great, but that's what you get from a compact camera and a fair amount of cropping.

Jerry Cross (one of the three of my clubmates who were racing, lol).

The Royal Navy rider pictured is Sean Childs i think - he had a puncture and ended up finishing the race on a spectators bike!
