Club Grand Prix Standings

After 7 events Simon Baker leads the men's standings with 280 points, closely followed by Andy Taylor on 255 points, then Stuart Carter on 191 and Steve Spamer on 135. There are 3 more events and at the end of the season the best 5 scores count. Another 23 members have done 2 or more events so there is still plenty to play for. The women's grand prix is even more open since only one member had done 3 events so far. Up to date standings will be published soon. Points are worked out by a combination of finish position out of all BTC entrants and by age group position in the event

The 9 events and Grand Prix rules can be viewed here The last 3 events are Aug 27th West Lancs Sprint Tri, Sept 10th Fleetwood Tri and 8th October Oulton Park Autumn Duathlon sprint or standard distances
