And we're off - Hugo goes top 5 in February

Whilst most of the team are still hunkered down on turbo trainers honing their form for the warmer days, Hugo Hocknell proved he is made of stronger stuff by starting his racing in February.


Surprisingly mild but blowy conditions greeted Hugo at the Kings Cliffe Flyer 12 mile test, and the lad put in a stunning opener that bodes well for the rest of his year.


A great ride from Chris Rimes with 28:15 may have bagged him the win, but Hugo was hot on his heels with 29:32, a time good enough for a strong 5th place and that was also 2 minutes faster than his 2013 time.


Looks like it is going to be another strong year for Hockers!
