Team Time Trial

Race Report

NEW EVENT IN THE 1961 RACING CALENDAR

Twenty-one competitors forming seven teams of three set off from La Hougue Bie at two minutes intervals on the first lap of the course which went past St.Saviour’s Hospital to St.Martin’s Church, then to Maufant and back to the start. Riders had to complete six laps of this circuit which totalled 27.5 miles in all.

Each was made up of three grades of riders which theoretically made the teams equal in strength and it was left to the captain of the team to call on all his powers of persuasion in order to keep his slower men going at a good pace.

Spectators watched with interest the way each team elected to work. One method was for the fastest rider to stay in the front thus breaking the head wind for the slower rider who was tucked in behind his back wheel with the other member sometimes pushing the middle rider if in fact he failed to keep the fast pace set.

The other was for the two faster riders to exchange front positions and therefore allow maximum vacuum advantage to the slowest man.

However in this event it was down to the slick changing over by D.Lidster and J.Tanswell in front with A.Phillips struggling on their wheel that secured 1st place for the team. Phillips did particularly well, far better than anticipated by the handicapping committee by improving his time by approximately 14 minutes over this distance.
