Flying Monkeys.
With a high class group of riders rolling out of the start village today (down town Keighley) it was going to be a fast mornings Caferace.
These Riders including Tour de France rider Gez Hunt Cervelo Test team hoping to pick up some tips from the Caferacers ,Super Sid and Tom Barras with over 1000 wins between them ,Yanto Barker and of course Oxenhope rider James Sargent.All having travelled up especially to compete in todays Caferace the highlight of their season and also taking in some chipper race the following day the UK National Champs or something. Anyway back to the important Stuff.
The action never really got going until the climb before the Duck Pond with Giz Hunt forcing the pace pressing hard on the pedals to pull off all the Chasing riders one by one he was soon joined by Giles the only rider that he didn't pull off, but it wasn't long before he was soon back in the group as most riders didn't want him pulling off on the front again with his hard on the pedal action.
Up the hill past the angel a small group managed to get it up, and pull off the front, but by the finishing straight they were all back together and a mad dash for the finish was on the table.
Yanto went too early prematurely sitting up allowing a Flying James Rushton to Pull Himself off the front to take his first ever CafeRace win.
2nd Sid Barras.
3rd Yanto Barker.
