Pictures & report from Larry Hickmott
The disability event at the Welsh National Velodrome in Newport on Wednesday night may have been an international but it had the atmosphere of a local club run as the riders from around the world mingled in the track centre with much laughter and stories told and then went out to win on the track determined to win their event.
There were riders from the US, Australia, Ireland and Great Britain plus others from Wales and Britain, all out to get some racing in during the packed programme of events. With a dedicated band of volunteers there to help the riders, the night saw the normal series of time trials over various distances and also some great Tandem racing between both the men and women. There was even a scratch race but for excitement, you can’t beat a close tandem race and there were plenty on the night.
