Jacob 11th in WMRA World Cup race

Jacob Adkin continued his comeback with a venture to France at the weekend for his first taste of a senior WMRA World Cup race, the Montee du Grand Ballon uphill race over 13.2km/1230m and came away with a highly respectable 11th place in 1 hour 4mins and 50 seconds. The race was won by Eritrean Petro Mamu in 59.04 with Scotland's Andrew Douglas, who was overall winner of the WMRA World Cup Series last year, third in 1.01.32.
