MOTA-VATION SERIES Race 5, Stratfield Brake, Oxfordshire, August 25

As the five-race series drew to a close, Mattieu Marshall moved up from a close fourth in the previous race to take the series finale which, for the only time in the series, was over varied terrain, Martin Duff reports.

Marshall said: “This was my first win this year, but I had previously won two of the series back in 2017.”

The Oxford man added: “James Bolton led the first mile or so fairly quick, then I led the group for a bit before creating a gap just after two miles and then I pushed to maintain it to the end.”

Marshall got home by about 50 metres but it was closer for second as Matt Lock, who had won the July fixture, just got the better of Harrison Reed to secure the overall series award.

Felicity Hannon made it a double win for Oxford City after moving up from second in the July race of the series and, here, won by nearly a minute. Second placed triathlete Emily Georgiades who won the women’s series award.

However, the club was unable to field a scoring six despite coming out on top in that previous race.
