That sounds correct. One of the handcyclists jammed his gears on the last lap and he hand-paddled his way to the finish. I guess that is Mark.

Ah-ha!  That's rotten luck, he was going so well...

That reads like some of my school reports LOL

Thanks for a great race yesterday.
I've posted this on Facebook but I'll duplicate it here:

2 x 5min test videos below from the first fast race at Bath yesterday using an Insta360 camera borrowed from GST.

1st vid - 360 video - you can click in the video and spin it round to look where you want. Quite a good novelty, but not the best viewing experience IMHO.

2nd Vid - 'flat' video created from the insta360 file using the app's picture-in-picture function. Whilst you can control 'direction lock' on the main image, there's no control at all over the inset video - it calls it 'selfie' mode so I suppose if it can't find a face it just goes on it's own little journey of exploring the scenery, rather than the rear view that I wanted. (This vid also has the Garmin data overlaid using the Virb Edit software)

There's also issues with the Insta360 camera in that the app has far more features than the desktop version, meaning that you need to do all of the editing / compositing etc on your phone, which soon borks your phone 'cause 35mins of .insv files is 13Gb...

More videography experiments needed...

Mystery solved:  CrossMgr allows you to manually enter lap times by mouseclicking on the rider's number/name in the 'Expected' list.  Natalya was using that for Russell, and missed.  (Which is why typing bib numbers on the numeric keypad is better: The keys don't rearrange themselves in response to RFID reads.  Obviously if you're operating entirely manually it's less of a moving target.)

PS: who was the chap with the green 2CV van with a trike in the back? I saw it on the London Road around 4 yesterday; I gave the driver a smile, and when he passed my I turned around and to my surprise noticed the distinct shape of a transparent trike front fairing in the back! I also saw a blue 2CV about a minute later.

Apologies to James Coxon, who seems to have turned back into James Coxton at some point.  I've hopefully fixed the results for Hillingdon and Bath, and will attempt to obliterate all traces of that years-old typo from the Spreadsheet-ov-Doom so it doesn't reappear...

He could have saved you all that grief by simply changing his name to match the spreadsheet. Inconsiderate sod. 😁

The points on the Championship table are different than those for Bath race at least for Street class for myself and Dan Bergonzi. We finish on same number of points but in the Championship table is not the same.
