Jamie Shirlaw Wins Sheffrec CC Spring Road Race.
Jamie Shirlaw is young British rider who loves cycling as an integral member of ‘Team Herbalife Leisure Lakes Bikes’. He’s got a string of strong UK wins behind him and he recently secured a triumphant first place in the Sheffrec CC Spring Road Race. Jamie is proof that success isn’t down to luck as he won this challenging South Yorkshire race last year too.
Working in harmony with his team, he jumped away from the main field early in the race, and managed to hold off the pack. With two laps to go, he was holding only 22” but he dug deep and his final sprint was beautifully timed. Proper fueling no doubt played a role in Jamie’s victory as riders in a breakaway can burn well over 1000 calories per hour, and without replacing those calories, that sort of effort is simply unsustainable.
The endurance needed to keep ahead of the pack and maintain his position throughout the race shows that Jamie’s one to watch in road racing.
