Ruth Jefferson is in Holland today for the penultimate ladies race in this year’s Fegentri series where the first four girls in the Fegentri league tables have just finished in the last four!

Consequently there will be no firm result to this year’s Ladies World Championship until the final race in Mauritius in December.  Whatever the outcome, Ruth has done us all proud this year.

Interestingly, although the Fegentri Gentlemen’s World Championship has been won by Great Britain in the past, most recently by David Dunsdon in 2002, none of our lady riders have ever won this championship, although we have enjoyed runner-up position for the last two years respectively with Gemma Gracey-Davison and Claire Allen both making valiant efforts.

Harry Challoner has also enjoyed a good Fegentri season representing Great Britain, currently lying 3rd in the rankings, and travels to Bremmen next weekend.
