Final round of the Eckington Trail Collective series

After what seems like an age since the last race, it's finally here, the final round of the ETC race series. And what a series it has been so far.
In the last round I exceeded my expectations and the whole team put on a stonking performance, taking the win in the team stakes. Jen as expected took that 2nd spot again, but is there any chance she can shove Nik Burscough Brown off the top of the podium in round 4?
Little Kieran Powell, over the moon that he could get down this track, came first........out of one. But he was really pleased with himself for that as his nerves always get the better of him on race day.
Danny (sketchy) McGinley slid and crashed his way to third in juniors, despite opting to go through the undergrowth at the top of the track, and seemed to really enjoy his first taste of downhill.

As for myself, well I took the opportunity to capitalise on certain racer's absenteeism and somehow put a full run in without any mistakes on run two to break the minute mark and claim 3rd just one tenth behind Dom Bent in second.
That just leaves Dan the man who as we expected, smashed the opposition with an amazing 55second run that got him fastest time of the day.

So where does that put us in the overall standings? Sitting comfortably in second, 110 points clear, and in terms of individual overall standings? I am clinging onto third place (surprised myself when I saw that) but with many of the usual candidates back for this one (except Davy Ledge, who unfortunately re broke his just healed collar bone at the last race ) its going to be a tall order to stay there.
Jen Wilson? surprise, surprise shes in second and it looks doubt full that will change.
So it really is down to the wire for our Dan, as Jonesy missed round 3 he's unlikely to take the win, but Dan and Jordan Gould have been battling it out all through the series and with Jordan having the lead by one point, all Dan has to do is beat him in this round and come in the top 5 to take the win in seniors. This will be Dan's first outing on his own bike as well, and with high hopes for the team and the recent new members for next year's race season we will be interested to see how close to local pinner and English champs winner Billy Mathews he can get. There could be some nationals on the cards  next year for Dan so lets see what he can do.
In short it looks set to be a cracking end to a cracking series, make it talk guys.
