World champion wins local bike event

by isleofman.com 28th December 2011

There has been more success for Mark Cavendish to end the year, but this time on a local level.

The world road race champion and recently voted BBC Sports Personality of the Year won the Bikestyle hamper race.

The friendly event attracts quite a few of the top riders, and Cav beat Cycle Premier-bound Tom Black into second place.

Cav pulled away from the rest of the field to take victory on the new course in the Ballaugh and Cronk area.

After three laps, he rode away from what remained of the rest of the field, including top juniors Jake Kelly, Nick Corlett, Tom Matsone and Josh Knight, as well as senior riders Black, Christian Varley, Graham Hatcher and Rob Sorbey.
