Tandem Champions

With that familiar cry of 'Tally ho!' and 'chocks away boys' Simon Churton and RunnerBoyGill laughed their way to Yasumitsu-Schlapp/Vital/Trigons first national title of 2007.

Qualifying 2nd with a 10.8 behind Norfolk/JamManKappes [10.8 - a bit less]RBG/SC flew their way into the final with fine form seeing their compatriots fall by the wayside as they forgot to dodge the flak flying off the Belliot/Sayshel tandem. Norfolk/JamManKappes were almost caught out in the semi by Ski's comedy routine which had them falling all over their tandems but sensibilty saw them through only to be taken apart in the semis by the 'Hun' in the form of Belliot/Sayshel.

Meanwhile, SC/RBG took the final by a storm, keeping the races long and fast and trashing the oppo.
Anyway, Simon Churton and RunnerBoy [Ant]Gill now have a nice pair of stripy jerseys and Golden gongs. Well done boys. JonNorfolk/JamManKappes took thrid and Ski/Gwyn fourth. Nice.
