British 'crossers do well in European Cyclocross Championships

Team Fat Birds United Kingdom

Pontchateau, France, hosted the European Cyclo-Cross Championships Sunday. Great Britain had 5 riders in the event with 2 women and 3 juniors. Helen Wyman, Team FBUK, still with the memories of a last lap double puncture in the same event last year when leading going into the final lap, was out to try to better her position of 4th, while Sue Thomas was entering into the unknown in her first cyclo-cross European championships and her first cross race in Europe this season. With the 2 riders exchanging wins in the UK National Trophy Series, expectations were rightfully high.
