Team SW 4 points Hannah Barnes, Motorpoint/Marshalls Pasta powered to a sprint win at the end of a very sunny race on the Hawthorn Hill course near Windsor superbly organised by Lisa West and the Twickenham CC over 80 kilometres just piping her team mate Hannah Walker with Laura Trot, British Cycling Eastern Region in 3rd place. With the highest number of teams ever registered with the Team Series - 22 - there was a full field of 80 with 15 resaves for the first of the Women's Team Race Series, a trend that is likely to continue with this ever popular Series; with an ability range from Elites to brand new first time racers the early pace saw some riders lose contact and this really was the main story of the earlier part of the race although with 9 miles covered a crash saw Kat Zolkewicz, Bad-Tri/Fred Baker Cycles on the ground but she was able to remount and continue the race. However 2 miles later another crash and it was Rhiannon Smallworth and Kate Broomhill both of Team SW Ladies, Nicola Wheeler, Surrey League, Karen Price, Dulwich Paragon sitting on the tarmac but pleasingly with no major injuries. The speed of the race now increased with 21 miles covered but even so there were two more crashes with firstly Hannah Bowers of Mulebar and then a few miles later Rebecca Curley,Rapha/Condor - Roberta Dionello and Alison Stringer of Team Zappi, Jayne Randall-Hannan, Twickenham CC. The bunch was now down to 50 riders when Tracey Corbett, Rapha/Condor punctured but after a spirited chase of 2 kilometres she was back in the race; with just a few miles to go attacks started to come but no attacking rider had the confidence to go flat out so they were all caught and a bunch finish was certainly on the cards - and so it proved with Hannah Barnes taking the first of the seasons big races. It was pleasing that apart from cuts and bruises none of the crashed rider had any serious injuries but is serious that so many crashes happened in the first place; with riders not bothering to obey the Commissaries warning blasts of the car horn better discipline will be needed for the rest of the season. Special mention must be made of Angelo's Restaurant of Twickenham; owner Angelo and his wife gave generously for the 3 primes on offer worth £25 each time - it is sponsors like this that will always be welcomed in women's racing. Thanks Angelo
