Alex Dowsett

UNDER-23 star Alex Dowsett, riding for the 100% ME team which carries UK Sport?s drugs free message, left more experienced seniors trailing to score an overall win in today?s opening round of the RTTC-Rudy Project Time Trial Series in Cambridgeshire.

Dowsett, virtually a local favourite, covered a 26.5-mile course based on Bottisham in 55min 34sec ? an average of more than 28mph ? to beat northern rival and Circuit of Ingleborough winner Paul O?Mahoney (Pro Bike Kit) by a margin of two and a quarter minutes.
