British champion Oli Beckingsale came out best in the opening round of the K-Capital Cup held in Kiluddery Estate yesterday, yet runner-up Robin Seymour was also very satisfied after the race.
The Team WORC rider finished 58 seconds behind his rival, but was almost eight minutes clear of Niall Davis, his rival for a place in the Olympic Games. Davis was sixth in the event, Seymour thus getting an early lead in their three-race rideoff for the Bejing Games.
An incredible total of over 250 riders signed on for the various events run off on the day. Seymour went clear early on in the main event, holding a 32 second lead over Beckingsale at the end of the first of five laps. However the latter gradually got back on terms and pulled ahead before the start of the final lap. He hit the line well clear.
Seymour finished 1 minute 37 seconds ahead of Lee Williams, with Ian Bibby, Adrian Lansley and Davis filling the remaining places in the top six.
Oisin Boydell beat Luke Manning by 26 seconds in the Expert men’s race. Beth McCluskey (women), Peter O’Farrell (masters), Peter Buggle (veterans) and Liam McCreevey (junior) were amongst the other victors on a very successful day’s racing.
Stuart Dunlop (under 8), Richard Baird (under 10) and James Curry (under 12) were best in the earlier underage events.
