MARTIN Osman led the way for Bromsgrove based riding team MJS Racing with a series of scorching performances at the Regional Track Championships at Halesowen on Saturday.

Osman clinched two individual titles to finish as the tournament's second best rider overall, just behind Andrew Tenent.

MJS, in its first year of competition, also had a quartet win the team-pursuit event, after qualifying for the final with one of the fastest times of the last 20-years.

The only set back was that MJS rider James Cunningham missed the competition because of a broken collarbone.

Coach Stefan Pearce said: "When we formed at the start of this year I promised we were going to take the Midlands by storm - and we have.

"We had to choose our races and performances on the day because of what happened to James.

"It meant the lads faced a gruelling day of non-stop heats, rounds and finals.

"But the line-ups and strategies worked and the lads pulled out all the stops to get prominent podium places.

"I am confident this is just the start of our success. Most of the lads have a couple of weeks off now for a well deserved rest but we will return even stronger and fitter for the rest of the season."

Osman won the sprint and kilometre time trial, and joined Rob Bishop, Chris Morris and Nick Walford to set the fastest time in the team pursuit qualifying rounds, four minutes and 59.13seconds.

In the final Richard Deeley replaced Osman and helped MJS beat Wyre Forest CC and win its third title of the tournament.

Walford was fourth in the individual pursuit and Deeley set a personal best in the event.
