The Saint Piran pairing of Jack Rootkin-Gray and Alex Richardson had a dream ending to their seasons, finishing first and second respectively at the Beaumont Trophy in Northumberland last Sunday.
The team-mates had previously placed first and second in the Ryedale Grand Prix in August. But a late puncture for Rootkin-Gray almost ended his chances there, and the youngster had to win a sprint from a chasing group, ruining their finish line moment. They had to work hard for their dream moment in the Beaumont Trophy after two breakaway groups escaped early in the race and the favourites were at risk of watching the victory ride away from them.
Double victory
Rootkin-Gray was clearly the strongest, riding across to the middle group and then attacking alone on the hills to reach the front of the race.
He was eventually joined by the remaining favourites and the gruelling 2.7-kilometre Ryals climb, tackled four times, reduced the front group down to six riders for the finishing circuit.
