Palmer Park Velo Youth Track Omnium

The PPV Youth track Omnium went well (Saturday 18th May) at the first attempt. It was a slightly chilly over cast day, but this did not stop the fun. 

Riders from all over the southern region turned up in large numbers and there was some fantastic racing. Well done to all the competitors and especially to the Palmer Park riders, who as always did us so proud.

Big very thank you to everyone that helped getting everything setup, weeding the track to make it look its best. Also to everyone that helped on the day, pulling together to make our omnium one of the best there is.  

Here are the results for all the races

In tremendous style, Tom Sefton recently broke the long standing U16 single lap record. The previous mark of 35.03 seconds was set in April 2007 by Matthew Gittings, now National Derny Champion. Tom bettered this mark by just 2/100ths in setting a time of 35.01. It may be a very long time until this record is bettered again. Very well done Tom.
