In-form Beardmore is the Shropshire star
Tim Beardmore claimed the county spoils in round 15 of the Friction Hydraulics Series.
The overall win in the North Shropshire Wheelers 25 event between Tern Hill and Shawbirch, was taken by Velotik Racing’s David Williams in a superb time of 52 minutes 46 seconds.
But Nova Raiders’ ace Beardmore was the pick of the ‘home’ riders and was pleased to record a personal best of 54:22.
Beardmore has recently made a comeback from injury and was delighted to come out on top of a quality field that included Matt Davies and reigning Shropshire best all-rounder Victor Chetta.
He said: “It was my first open event since March following injury, so I was very pleased with how the race went.
“I had been putting in some decent times in club 10s on a new bike so was hopeful of a PB. The weather was perfect, and I was amazed to go under 55 minutes and beat some strong riders.”
Davies had won rounds 13 and 14 but had to settle for the runner-up spot in 55:28, just pushing Chetta out by nine seconds.
