Richard wins Sammy Gaston Cup!

Thursday, May 27, 2021
Last night BRC promoted the Sammy Gaston Cup Road Race over 5 laps (25 miles) of the Glarryford circuit. The race was handicapped over 4 groups. The limit group split on Lap 1 with Declan Rodgers (Glens CC) and Jason Bulpitt (Dunloy CC) establishing an early advantage out in front. 

By Lap 5 the Scratch group had reeled in everyone except for the 2 leaders, who worked well together and held out a lead of several minutes until the finish. By the finish line Rodgers had broken clear from Bulpitt and crossed the line with an advantage of several seconds.

The chasing bunch contested a sprint for the line, with BRC's Richard Maybin crossing the line first, to lift the Sammy Gaston for the 2nd year running.
