Good Friday Meeting April 2nd 2010The Good Friday Meeting returns to Herne Hill for another year on the 2nd of April 2010, Entries have now closed, riders list is posted at the above link Italian sprint star Roberto Chiappa returns to Herne Hill for The 2010 Good Friday Meeting on the 2nd of April 2010. Since retiring from the sport after the Beijing Olympics, Chiappa has been working with the Italian Sprint team in a part-time coaching role, however he has also found the time to continue training thanks to the new Montichiari Velodrome in Brescia, that will host the 2010 UCI Junior World Track Cycling Championships Chiappa has been a regular at this season's Revolution series in the UK which has helped him to hone his form ahead of Good Friday where he is looking forward to riding in the International Sprint which he won on his last visit in 2001. Paracycling tandem sprinting is featured at the Meeting for the first time in the history of Good Friday. The race gives a great opportunity for British tandem crews to compete against crews from Spain and Poland. Another rider who will be present at Herne Hill will be Endura's Rob Hayles who will be looking to scoop the £1000 prize for winning the 20k Golden Wheel Scratch race. With an additional £1300 shared out amongst the minor placing this is the richest race on the UK Domestic Track Cycling calendar. Another innovative feature will be the Grand Old Ordinary One Mile Challenge Race which celebrates 100 years since it’s inception. Regularly held at Herne Hill in the past, it has recently been held at venues all over Britain. Phil Wray of the Veterans Cycle Club said “It’s great that the event is ‘coming home’ for it’s centenary and will be contested in front of a huge crowd of spectators”. Multi World Champion in Scratch and Madison, Six Days track star Franco Marvulli is coming to Good Friday for the first time. As well as looking to win the prestigious Golden Wheel 20k Scratch the Swiss Champion he is also aiming to take the honours in the British Pacing Association Derny Paced GP. Tough opposition will come from Endura’s Alex Blain who has had a fantastic ride in the recent Tour of Murcia. The Frenchman is no stranger to the track and is looking forward to riding at Herne Hill. Mallorcan Toni Tauler, Silver medallist in The Beijing Olympic Madison, returns to stake his claim to the Golden Wheel – he too has unfinished business from last year!

Matt Crampton topped the 200m times for the Neovite Sprint with an impressive 10.904s, easily quicker than BC Academy member Pete Mitchell who also impressed with his 11.282s, faster than Ross Edgar (11.328s) and Chris Lyte (11.338s) with Steve Hill in fifth after recording a time of 11.576s. Full Results can be found in the History/Results section of the Drop-down Menu Herne Hill VelodromeHerne Hill Velodrome is one of the best cycling tracks in the UK & it is the last remaining venue from the 1948 Olympic Games that is still in active use. Hopefully it will have a very important role to play in the 2012 Games, not as a competition or training venue, but as a vital grass-roots facility to develop the riders that will take part in 2012.
