0:26:280:26:30

-He Is Riding With a broken arm.

0:26:310:26:33

-I wonder how he's feeling around

-these tight corners.

0:26:390:26:42

-I'm sure he'll feel that wrist

-hurting as the race continues.

0:26:510:26:54

0:26:590:27:00

-He is also a fell runner.

-going on at the same time.

0:28:060:28:09

0:28:270:28:29

-depending on what's happening

-this series.

0:28:520:28:54

-The race in Milton Keynes has

-This is a very technical course.

-It's also very challenging.

1:43:531:43:57

-It's only over the hurdles that

-there has been any gap...

1:44:111:44:13

-..between these two riders.

1:44:141:44:15

-They will cover six or

-seven laps here today.

1:44:201:44:22

-Billy Harding isn't out

-of it just yet.

1:44:441:44:46

-He'll be quite happy in third place.

1:44:461:44:48

-Billy Harding is the cream of

-the under 23 riders.

1:44:561:44:58

-That race hasn't really taken hold.

1:45:061:45:08

-It's great for the youngsters to

-race against professional riders.

1:45:241:45:28

-They will learn a lot from

-this experience.

1:45:291:45:31

-David Fletcher is still

-in fourth place.

1:45:361:45:38

-He's not closing the gap

-on Billy Harding.

-for a little while.

1:46:551:46:58

-Yorben Van Tichelt is sheltering

-himself behind the leader.

1:47:041:47:08

-Billy Harding isn't too far behind.

1:47:101:47:12

-He Certainly Hasn't lost heart.

1:47:121:47:14

-Billy Harding knows he

-has nothing to lose.

1:47:171:47:19

-All he can do is to

-improve his profile.

1:47:291:47:31

-It will give him valuable

-experience.

1:47:351:47:37

-Yorben Van Tichelt showed his

-cycling skills once again.

1:47:471:47:51

-Ian Field has got the technique of

-getting on and off the bike so well.

1:48:061:48:09

-He doesn't seem to lose any time.

1:48:091:48:11

-It's far more cool to

-do the bunny hop.

1:48:141:48:15

-You have to know exactly

-what you're doing.

1:48:191:48:21

-Billy Harding has fallen

-back a little.

1:48:261:48:28

-Billy Harding and Dave Fletcher

-are also separated...

1:48:451:48:48

-..by quite a lot of time.

1:48:481:48:49

-Dave Fletcher was 11th in the first

-race of the series in Derby.

1:48:561:49:00

-These two are leading the way.

1:49:221:49:24

-These two are head and

-shoulders above the others.

1:49:451:49:54

-They have lapped a few riders.

1:49:541:50:04

-Billy Harding is leading the

-Under-23 race.

1:50:151:50:17

-Ian Field comes out of the shadows.

1:50:391:50:41

-It looks like he's opened a gap

-on Yorben Van Tichelt.

1:50:581:51:00

-It looks like it might be an

-important break.

1:51:001:51:03

-I'm not sure If Yorben Van Tichelt

-made a mistake.

1:51:051:51:08

-Ian Field looks very comfortable.

1:51:111:51:13

-Van Tichelt maybe looks a

-little bit more tired.

1:51:161:51:18

-I think Ian Field is making

-his break here.

1:51:251:51:27

-He will be trying to break the

-spirit of the Belgian.

1:51:321:51:34

-He would fear a sprint against

-Yorben Van Tichelt.

1:51:431:51:46

-This is a tactical move

-from Ian Field.

1:51:501:51:52

-He Probably Knows He Would be

-unable to outsprint the Belgian.

1:51:581:52:01

-Ian Field doesn't waste any

-energy around these corners.

1:52:071:52:10

-It's about keeping within yourself.

1:52:231:52:25

-You can waste a lot of energy

-by riding wildly.

1:52:321:52:35

-Some riders get on and off their

-bikes on these corners.

1:52:361:52:39

-I think the gap between first and

-second is getting bigger.

1:52:461:52:50

-Dave Fletcher is in fourth place.

1:52:581:53:00

-Billy Harding is leading

-the Under- 23 race...

1:53:161:53:18

-..and is third in the elite race.

1:53:201:53:22

-The race has dried Up A Bit Since

-the women's race.

1:53:271:53:30

-It was a little bit

-greasy at That Time.

1:53:301:53:32

-Ian Field is still leading

-this men's elite race.

1:53:411:53:44

-He negotiates the zigzags

-quite easily.

1:53:491:53:51

-Paul Oldham is wearing 17.

1:53:581:54:00

-Hargroves Cycles rider.

1:54:431:54:45

-Ian Field crosses the

-finish line again.

1:54:471:54:49

-It would be his first win

-of the series.

1:55:061:55:07

-He just has to apply himself

-for another lap.

1:55:081:55:10

-I'm sure cycling against

-Yorben Van Tichelt...

1:55:221:55:24

-..will improve Ian Field's

-performances this season.

1:55:291:55:32

-I think he has broken the

-Belgian's spirit.

1:55:401:55:42

-The crowd love watching him

-bounce over those hurdles.

1:55:501:55:53

-There's an excellent crowd

-here in Abergavenny.

1:55:531:55:56

-It's a really good place

-to watch this race.

1:55:571:56:00

-Ian Field is turning the

-knife in this race.

1:56:041:56:06

-Yorben Van Tichelt is

-falling further back.

1:56:121:56:15

-You get 50 points for winning.

1:56:441:56:46

-You get six fewer points for

-finishing second.

1:56:561:56:58

-Only five races Happen This season.

1:57:001:57:02

-You have to perform in every race.

1:57:041:57:05

-Welcome back to Abergavenny.

1:57:091:57:11

-The main event is still going here.

1:57:131:57:16

-Ian Field has run away

-with this race.

1:57:241:57:26

-Yorben Van Tichelt was his main

-rival for a long time.

1:57:341:57:36

-Billy Harding is in third...

1:57:391:57:40

-..and also leading the

-under 23 race.

1:57:411:57:43

-Ian Field is 10 seconds ahead.

1:57:491:57:51

-That is quite a gap in this sport.

1:57:541:57:56

-However, anything can happen

-in these races.

1:58:081:58:10

-I think Yorben Van Tichelt was

-feeling the burn in his legs.

1:58:231:58:26

-I'm not sure if Ian Field

-has gone too early.

1:58:391:58:41

-Yorben Van Tichelt won the

-opening race of the series.

1:58:461:58:49

-Ian Field Learnt A lesson

-since the last race.

1:58:501:58:53

-He knows that he wouldn't win a

-sprint against the Belgian.

1:59:021:59:05

-It's so important to pick the

-right line on these courses.

1:59:181:59:22

-However, when it's dry you

-can take more risks.

1:59:291:59:31

-These riders have to keep

-pushing to the finish line.

1:59:321:59:35

-No one has had to change

-their bikes this afternoon.

1:59:381:59:41

-That probably due to the

-good conditions.

1:59:421:59:45

-Sometimes on Muddy courses...

1:59:541:59:56

-..bikes have to be changed.

1:59:582:00:00

-Cyclo-cross riders like

-the mud and rain.

2:00:082:00:10

-They say it's a lot more fun.

2:00:122:00:14

-It's quite easy conditions

-here today.

2:00:242:00:26

-Some of the courses are much steeper

2:00:342:00:36

-..and the riders get on and off

-their bikes more often.

2:00:372:00:40

-There are two laps

-remaining of this race.

2:00:462:00:49

-We will hear the bell at the

-favourite here today.

2:01:432:01:45

-Liam Killeen is into the top 10.

2:01:572:01:59

2:02:142:02:16

-he'll pick Up Some Points.

2:02:202:02:23

-Any Points Lift you up in

-the UCI rankings.

2:02:282:02:30

-I would've loved to see Liam Killeen

-battling it out at the front.

2:02:322:02:35

-It's starting to be a

-procession for Ian Field.

2:02:412:02:43

-I think Ian Field has

-broken the Belgian.

2:02:562:02:58

-I think he knew he had to do that

-before the final lap.

2:03:032:03:05

-I think Yorben Van Tichelt

-has left too much to do.

2:03:172:03:20

-Yorben Van Tichelt won the

-opening race of the series.

2:03:202:03:23

-That is a considerable gap.

2:03:322:03:33

-football pitch ahead.

2:03:402:03:42

-The Belgian is still

-trying his very best.

-Ian Field made his move

-at two laps Ago.

2:05:112:05:13

-We weren't sure whether The Belgian

2:05:142:05:16

-..Had had some technical issues.

2:05:162:05:18

-I think it was just that

-Ian Field powered away.

2:05:232:05:26

-Ian Field really turned the

-screw at that point.

2:05:332:05:36

-The organisers have made this a

-more technical course...

-how much of a gap he has.

2:13:432:13:46

-There are some parts of the course..

2:13:522:13:54

-..where he can see who
