Criterium - Semi 1
Hove Park
3rd August 2001
A fairly easy win for Steve Slade, with the Razz-Fazz boys coming in nose to tail to fill the next three places.  This race was, however, marred by the serious crash which befell Iain James.  Putting a wheel onto the grass on the fastest part of the course, he slammed into the park fence and head-butted the Project X's handlebars.  After a trip to the hospital, he was up and around the next day, sporting a black eye and a copious quantity of stitches in his nose.  The bike, however, was comprehensively demolished at the front end, with the chainring, spider, Corima aero front wheel and the forks all either broken or heavily bent.  Iain noted with pride that all of his brazing had held up, and says that his next bike will have a rather different steering layout...
