Fletcher wins Northern Championship

by isleofman.com 17th May 2011

Jacqui Fletcher has won British Cycling's North Region Mountain Bike Championship at Aske Estate in North Yorkshire.

She took the gold medal in the expert women with a superb ride with Nikki Sharpe second and Julie Lyness third.

In the Men's race, Elliot Baxter won silver in the elite class. Rob Sorby and Paul Kneen all finished, but Graeme Saunders was lapped after suffering mechanical problems.

All will be representing the Isle of Man at the NatWest Island Games in the Isle of Wight next month.

Nick Corlett also rode in the youth class and finished fourth overall (two Scottish riders competed who weren't eligible for the North race) but claimed silver in the championship, despite being slowed down by a fallen rider at the start of the race.
