Natalie Creswick stormed to an opening round victory in Stoke-on-Trent, taking a solo win ahead of MG Maxifuel’s Hannah Barnes and Team MuleBar Girl – Sigma Sport teammate Louise Mahe.

Creswick broke away alone early on and was never caught, winning by almost a minute from the small group sprint, taken out by Barnes, who also won the Sprints classification at Round One.
