The peloton is string out after an active few miles on the circuit with Simon Holt leading from very impressive paracycling rider Jozef Metalka who was 5th. Look closely and you will see one leg is carbon!

Chris Opie leads a ten rider break which Tom Bustard said later worked very well indeed.

And behind, yet more smaller groups. Who says you need hills to destroy a field …

A later to go and Ed Clancy, in a small chase group behind the leaders, gets out a gel.

An attack with a lap to go is a brave move, especially when it only gets ten or so seconds but no-one crossed to him or brought Tom Bustard back and he wins!

Tight sprint for second won by Wheelbase rider Adam Duggleby.

Tom Bustard said afterwards, “This is very unexpected! I work full time now so I was like I don’t know how I am going to go. I train on my own now pretty much so that win was really unexpected. I felt really good. I have lost some weight because I’m not training as much so I thought I had better lose some weight to compensate and it feels good.”

“I think the break went within about ten minutes. I attacked and we all started working, Tom Moses, Felix English, Chris Opie, Nathan Edmondson and Marcin Bialoblocki and with three from each team, we were working really well.”

“To be honest  at the end, where I got away was the first attack.”

Having moved to Velosure Giordana, Tom says “I think this is the best team in the UK. People like Griffo always putting money into the sport. The Pinarello Dogma is unbelievable and the Corima wheels ridiculous.”

Asked about the course, Tom said “it was Mint, pot holes everywhere but it was like Belgium and absolutely spot on.” Asked if it was his biggest win to date, Tom said yes adding “The Sheffrec one was a big one too, tough and I like those hard courses.”
