Zepnat riders featured strongly at Sundays round of the British Cycling Yorkshire Summer Cross Series held at Ampleforth near York.
On an now uncharacteristically highly technical course Matt Denby (Zepnat.com) held off Ian Taylor (Paul Milnes Cycles to win by just over 10 seconds.
Denby and Taylor broke clear of the field early on the first lap and worked well together to open up a lead over 3 minutes on the chasers. Denby and Taylor looked evenly matched over the duration of the race but with less than half a lap to race Denby opened up a race winning gap to pip Taylor to the line.
Behind the remaining places were being fiercely fought out between Denby's team mates Steve Barnes, Joff Watson, series leader Ollie Webster and Simon Maudsley (both Crosstrax), Webster and Barnes eventually retiring due to mechanical problems. Maudsley just managing to overcome Watson to take the final podium place.
All three Zepnat riders will now start to ramp up their training to once again challenge at a National level over the Winter months.
