Wightlink-Wight Mountain Cycle Race Team 2nd Cat rider, Oliver Nolan, has had a busy schedule of racing over the past few weeks, competing in 3 races over a 7-day period last week.
Oli – who put in good performances at the National B rounds of the Omega Portsmouth Circuits Series – just missed out on breaks finishing with the main bunch on both of those occasions.
However, Oli improved with every race and in Round 6 of the PNECC’s Dick Evans Memorial Series was active in both chasing down moves and putting in attacks to try to break away over the 45-minute, fast-paced race.
Unusually for Mountbatten, no break materialised which led to a bunch sprint with Oli just finishing outside the points.
Oli’s best result came in Round 7 of the Series when he secured 4th place and a crucial 6 points towards retaining his 2nd Cat licence.
Oli said:
“I’ve tried to be active in every race and felt the best I have for while when sprinting in the last round. I’m really looking forward to competing in both of the Series throughout August and hoping to improve on my recent performances”
