1st Win and another 2nd place

CNP - Orbea got it's first win of the season thanks too an emphatic win by Matt Sumpton at round 1 of the Midlands XC series. First race nerves and worries were put to bed with his first win by over 5mins! Matt is now looking forward to Sherwood this weekend.

Cameron Balfour had an eventful but fruitful start to the season finishing second at round one of the Scottish series. This despite crashing hard enough to have to go to hospital after the race, a brave and fine performance.

Elite rider Oli Holmes got his race season off and running finishing a lonely 8th at round one of MXC. Problems started for Oli on assembly of his bike out of the car when he found a badly sticking piston on his bike was causing the wheel to hardly rotate. (it had been fine the day before) It led to 5-6 stops to try and improve the situation but in the end it was just as bad at the finish as at the start. Better luck next race Oli it's all good training.
