Tim Lee took his chance to win the latest round of the Moreton Race Series, after the Scratch group failed to bring the race together. Unattached Lee won a bunch sprint, with the “red group” over a minute behind. For once the scratch group could make no impression on the combined slower groups, who were working well to stay away.

The pace was certainly high with several riders being shelled out. The absence of series leader Jay Eastwood made it hard and the dropped riders now working in the bunch made it even harder. At the bell the gap was 1.10, and the chase was effectively over. In the dash for the line Lee was not the first one to cross it but the first one that mattered. John Weber, fresh from riding the “Le Marmotte” just missed out in second, with Simon Merritt third
