Rocking around the Exebridge tree! Endurorocks Hare and Hounds Championship Round 3 – Race Report and Results

Unfortunately, a rider sustained a broken wrist early on in the race resulting in a red flag to allow access for medical staff resulting in a full restart followed by a 2 hour sprint.

The racing was tight and fast with Dylan Baynton, Any Milliar and Charlie Frost all taking their turns leading the expert class. At the chequered it was Frost, Baynton, Milliar in the top 3 spots with Josh Player and Brett Rowland rounding out the top 5.

The Clubman class saw Sam Richards and Rowan Penheigan swapping positions for the top spot until Richards managed to open a gap on lap 9 which he held until he took the chequered. Penheigan took 2nd with Josh Knight in 3rd. James Larcombe and Tayler Brooke round out the top 5.

The Clubman over 40’s class was a battle from start to finish. Tony Penhaligon took the early lead with Wayne Mundell in a close 2nd. These two traded blows the entire race with Wayne Mundell taking the win by a mere 5 seconds! Both put on a hell of a show finishing a lap up on the rest of their class. Michael Brooks took 3rd with Stephen Franks and Ian Mundell rounding out the top 5.

In Sportsman class Sam Warren came round as the early leader with Stuart Westcott in tow. the top 3 saw a lot of action with multiple riders taking their turns to lead with the end result being Stuart Westcott followed by Jordan Kiff and Daniel Hern for your top 3. Jose Javier Ciordia Redondo and Sam Warren rounded out the top 5.

In Sportsman over 40’s Nicholas Lee took a commanding win, leading from start to finish finishing an entire lap ahead of 2nd place finisher Ian Sandercock. Jon Sheppey took home 3rd with Martin Bell and Simon Kenchington rounding out the top 5.

In the novice class it was a 3 horse race with Jack Rudd, Scott Lintott and Jake Woodgate all taking their turn leading. As the chequered flag waved it was Rudd followed by Lintott and  Woodgate with a total of 2 minutes between 1st and 3rd. Jack Larcombe and George Lovell round out the top 5.

As always we would like to extend our thanks to all the medical staff, marshalls and caterers to make these events possible.

Rd 4 is at the legendary Cotton farm on September 13th, not one to be missed!
