St Ives Cycling Club star Sean Purser is in a rich vein of form – after claiming three podium finishes in the space of a fortnight.
Purser won the junior category of the Monument Spring Crits race at Ilford with a powerful sprint finish after going on the attack with another rider in the early stages.
He followed up with a second place in the 2/3 category Ixworth Criterium event in Suffolk after powering into a breakaway just after the halfway stage.
Purser also collected a third place in his section when taking part in the latest Northants Cycle Race Association event at the Rockingham Motor Speedway venue. He was one of six riders in a leading group who contested the final sprint.
Tim Phillips won the second St Ives Cycling Club 10-mile time-trial of the summer last week in a time of 22.14 – more than half-a-minute clear of runner-up Adrian Beer (22.57) with Purser taking third place in 23.57.
Julia Wardley-Kershaw was the leading lady in 29.43
