QRA XC R2 June 2 2010. The second round of the QRA ACU British Cross Country Championship on the re-worked track at Cosford near Rugby takes place this Sunday 6th June with the start flag falling at 10.30am. The venue is just a couple of miles from junction 1 of the M6 off of the A426 towards Rugby and the course will be different from previous visits. The event is open to support riders in addition to riders still wishing to join any of the championship in 4×4/utility, Stock, Rookie, Club, Expert and Pro classes. The Pro Class is lead by reigning champion Paul Winrow, from his old sparring partner Steve Atkins. Jason Wildman who went out on lap one of the first round after a nasty crash will be back and aiming for a top position. Sam Barrett heads the Expert class, with colourful Irishman Paul Harkness as the filling in the Barrett sandwich as Sam’s dad Antony sits in third place overall. The Club class has the youngster Scott Linley out front, but Richard Clark and Peter Gallagher are on his tail and will both be looking for a win. The Rookie class victor at round one was Richard Taylor, whose ear to ear grin summed up his enjoyment and success in his first season, followed in the top three standings by Ian Ryles and young Laurence Stopps. The ladies are going well again this year with Ami Price Draper and Ameelie Miller joining Buffy Price in the hunt for Beverley Barnes' crown.
