Tuesday was the start of the Boston Wheelers 10-Mile TT League.

A grippy A52 course to Swineshead roundabout and back saw V1 riders Neil Palmer and Antony Gough posting the first and second fastest times on the night with 21 mins 55 secs and 22 mins 30 secs respectively.

Solid times were also delivered by Dan Carr (24 mins 15 secs/fourth) and Earl Taylor (24 mins 22 secs/fifth).

The evening was marred by a bike mechanical causing V1 rider Nick Millward to crash.

Nick broke his collarbone in the accident, requiring surgery to repair.
