RTTC-Rudy Project TT Series, round three

Hampstead Norreys, Berkshire, July 8, 2001

While many British fans were in Dunkirk for the Tour de France prologue time trial the domestic scene saw national 25 mile time trial champion Stuart Dangerfield in action in the picturesque village of Hampstead Norreys in Berkshire for the third leg of the Rudy Project circuit time trial series. Dangerfield won the 50km event in 1.09.44 after his main rival Michael Hutchinson dropped out after puncturing on a descent."My life flashed before my eyes," Hutchinson later confessed.

Second place went to former British 10, 25 and 50 mile champion Richard Prebble who took 1.11.08 to cover the distance.The women's event, over 18.7 miles, was a much closer fought battle with Scotland's Caroline Cook beating Best all-Rounder Liz Milne by just three seconds.

Top junior was James Ellett.
