ERC 2021 Midweek TT Series - Overall Results
15 September 2021

The image maybe a spoiler! It was a close one at the top this year. The following will be a mix of category results and a few other stats.
Points are compiled by taking the riders best 6 results and adding on any volunteering points. Male participants aged 18+ needed to have volunteered twice for their results to appear. Women and under 18s will appear in the standings regardless of volunteering - but any volunteering points are added on (as some women & under 18s did volunteer). I consider it important for volunteering to be justly rewarded.

I hope to see you all in November (looking like the 6th, whisper it, at Bellfield Brewery Taproom) to give out prizes. But if I don't see you - enjoy your winter training and I look forward to welcoming you all back in 2022. Well done everyone. Thank you again!
