But instead of coasting through the race, he battled through the pain barrier to finish third, which secured him second spot in the overall series standings. Wife Maddie, a former national champion, said: "Jay will be having surgery on his shoulder this week, so it was important for him to have one last blast before having to hang up his bike for a couple of months while he recovers. "He left his mark on the race scene, and his competitors will be in no doubt that he will come back fighting." It is the third time Horton has suffered a serious injury in less than two years. He broke his arm during the summer of 2008 after a road accident on the A38. Then he broke his collar bone after falling off his mountain bike. Horton said: "Incredibly, I hurt the shoulder while I was out running. "I've torn one of the rotator cuff muscles. They'll operate this replica breitling watches week and I'll be off the bike for a couple of months. It's about time I had some good luck." Team Certini-McCaulay's dominated the Newnham podiums. Maddie Horton took the win in the elite women, finishing five minutes ahead of Shred Racing's Alli Holland. embroidered patches Carla Haines (WXC mtb team) took fifth spot.

Will Jansen, also riding for Certini-McCaulay's, took an impressive fourth place in the elite men's race. Certini-McCaulay's Gary Andrews and Simon Young were second and third respectively in the veteran men's race. Shred Racing's Gary Pike took fifth place.
