Crescent Criterium

Stevenson takes opening round

MIDDRIDGE CRT's Peter Stevenson continues to produce consistently good form with a win in the open event of the Crescent Criterium Series at Newton Aycliffe.

Stevenson, Neil White (Thornaby CRT), Paul Curran (Manchester Wheelers), Dean Norton (Paragon CT) and Paul Blackett (Tyne Electric) provided the momentum which split the field in two during the fast moving 21 mile race on the industrial estate circuit.

Norton snatched the most lap points of the afternoon, a total of 19, two more than Curran with Stevenson collecting 15, but nobody could answer Stevenson's challenge in the final straight as he sprinted home to a comfortable win over White with Thornaby rider Curran holding off Norton in the closing yards.

RESULTS

1. Peter Stevenson (Middridge CRT)
2. Neil White (Thornaby CRT)
