Weekend CX roundup

The weekend saw the Naked Bikes 'usual suspects' out racing CX, but also saw the first race in team kit for new team member Ross Marriott.

Ross delivered a great first result, taking 6th Junior in the WMCCL race at Beaumount Leys.

Nick P was also in action at Beaumont Leys, taking 6th V40.

Nick: "A tough race  - started 5th on grid 3rd for first lap then two offs from high speed overtaking and no grip on wet grass. Caught a Jewson young lad half way so knew I wasn't doing too bad and set sights on next target. A Lichfield rider caught me on the rollers section but I took him back by the 2ft planks and finished clear of him holding onto 6th vets 40+ "

Over in Nottingham, Rich was racing Round 9 of the NDCXL, taking 7th V40 after some protracted battling.

Those of you with eagle eyes will notice a slight revision to the team kit. This is actually 2014 team kit, courtesy of the wonderful folks at Impsport. Team feedback is already very positive in terms of quality and fit. If anyone is keen to 'get the look', the NB webshop has team kit and other Impsport designs available.

And finally... (as they say!)

New team member Ross has been caught on camera again...

We've heard that he's excited by the prospect of a new team Haibike for 2014, but we reckon he's going a little too far in his efforts to convince everyone that he's grown out of his old bike!

There's some footage of him in action here
