Tejvan Pettinger of Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team took a narrow first place in the 2015 edition of Tanks Direct Porlock Hill climb. Tejvan was run very close by 2014 National Champion Dan Evan (Team Elite) who was just 3 seconds adrift in second place. Tejvan has now won the first three editions of this race.

Two weeks ago, in the Buxton CC hill climb on Long Hill, Tejvan finished 2nd - just 6 seconds behind Dan Evans, who on that weekend took first place.

 

Over the next few weeks, Tejvan will be riding more hill climbs in the build up to the 2015 national hill climb championship on Jackson Bridge.
