Shield just Nicks the win
By TMX Archives on 22nd Mar 07
WINNING scores in Lancs County's Angela Redford Trial, the second round of this year's ACU Classic Trials Series were fairly low on Saturday with the Veteran class, Twin-shock class and Pre-75 British Bike class all won on single figures, with Simon Levett, Nick Shield and Martyn Wilmore each doing the honours.
Three laps of 14-sections were on offer atBrookhouse Brickworks, just below the recently finished wind farm, andperhaps it would have been better if the fans had been turned off asthe wind and rain conditions were horrendous on the day!
Shield was the day's overall best performer,dropping just four marks, which was just two fewer than the six lost byPhil Wiffen, so Shield got his own back from the first round whenWiffen was the Twin-shock winner.
