Skinny Tyre results

The final placings for Scottish Cycling’s Skinny Tyre youth race series are in. It’s been a great learning experience for the QL guys in their first season of racing.  It takes a lot of commitment from the racers, parents and coaches as these races are spread all over Scotland.
QL in action at Alford

Youth A boys
Zak Loney – 8th
Wojtek Koscuiszko – 16th
Craig Ward – 35th

Youth B Boys
Rob Allanach – 30th
Lewis Goodlad  (Got mixed up in age groups) – 41st

Youth C Boys
Adam Loney – 7th (beating his brother J
Laurie Cunningham – 12th
Lewis Goodlad (results were split between B & C ) -21st
Joel Bavidge – 23rd


Pity there were no quines in the placings – maybe next year.

Well done to everyone in a great first year of racing.
