STUART Bowers (Hargroves Cycles-Trant) won the South of England Cyclo-Cross Championships in thrilling style, sprinting home just inches ahead of rival Will Bjergfelt (Kona UK) at Bicton Arena in Devon.
?I was a bit under par to be honest,? said Bowers, who was battling with a cold all week before. ?It started to get on my chest on Friday, so I wasn?t even sure I was going to ride.
?But I wanted to ride for my sponsor, and because I?m the defending champion. It was tough, but I?m glad I decided to ride. My chest was tight and I was struggling a lot with my breathing.?
Elsewhere, 2004 champion Jim Bryan (Ace Racing Team) won the Midlands Championships by almost a minute from last year?s victor Dan Booth.
In the South Eastern Championships at Hempton, Norfolk, Jamie Newall (Evans Cycles RT) took the honours by two and a half minutes from Darren Barclay (Arctic RT).
Fourth last year, Newall takes the title from 2006 winner Alex Atkins, who was a non-starter.
