Charlie brought his season to a close with this 120km Kermesse near Milton Keynes.
Charlie was riding without any of his team mates,so the tactic was simple, follow.. Inspite of having great form and riding shrewdly, a group 4 riders managed to escape the bunch. Charlie and several other strong riders, including Colin Sturgess ex-world pursuit champ, tried to bring the lead group back. Forced to accept the chance of winning had gone, Charlie set himself up for the bunch sprint. Charlie pulled out a fierce effort to win the bunch sprint and take 5th place.
Charlie has had an up and down, and at times difficult season, but he has enjoyed great form over the last 2 months and this was a good end to his season. Well done Rennerz.
