CCM riders dominate at round six of the Silkolene Short
Track UK championship
 CCM
factory riders Andrew Moore and Lee Complin finished first
and second respectively at the latest round of the Silkolene
Short Track UK Championship held at Newport, Wales last Sunday.
This was the second time this season that the hard charging
CCM duo have recorded a 1-2, confirming the growing strength
of the Bolton based factory team.
Complin’s second place at the Welsh venue allowed
him to move to the head of the overall championship standings
with just four rounds remaining, as previous series leader
Darren Pearson failed to finish in the top six. Moore also
continues his climb up the championship table and currently
sits in fifth spot just five points behind reigning champion
Marco Belli, despite having not competed in the opening two
rounds of the series.
Moore was faultless on his route to the first semi final,
winning all his heat races before transferring to the grand
final as the only unbeaten rider. Championship contender Peter
Boast followed Moore home in semi number one, with CCM team
rider Richard May also booking his place in the main event
as the last qualifier.
Complin recorded a heat win before booking his place in
the grand final as he kept championship rival Pearson at bay,
with another convincing victory in the second semi. The last
race of the day was a CCM showpiece as Moore and Complin once
again confirmed their superiority. Moore led from start to
finish, whilst Complin showed great maturity by taking a safe
second to help his title campaign, realising his team mate
was the fastest man on the day.
CCM’s Race Team Manager Austin Clews confirmed the
team’s delight following their latest success. “It
was important for us to bounce back strongly after the slightly
disappointing showing at the last round. Andrew’s and
Lee’s response was fantastic and has produced the results
they both deserve. Both riders are now in a good position
as we go into the final part of the championship.”
