Hannah Barnes took a dominant solo victory in Colchester, heading home MG Maxifuel teammate Karla Boddy for a one-two, helping her into the Series lead. Barnes went clear at the night’s opening sprint and was never again headed, sweeping into the lead of the Johnson Health Tech Grand Prix Series and taking the race win and combativity award, whilst also holding on to the sprints competition lead.

Behind Barnes a select chase group formed, with Boddy leading them home ahead of MuleBar Girl – Sigma Sport duo Louise Mahe and Round One winner Natalie Creswick. The lead ebbed backwards and forwards but the group couldn’t pull back Barnes, despite a number of big efforts, in particular from Champion System’s Sarah Byrne.
Victory leaves Barnes two points ahead of Creswick in the individual standings and a six point lead over Mahe in the sprint standings. Highlights of the Colchester race will be shown as a part of The Pearl Izumi Tour Series highlights programme on ITV4 at 10pm on Friday 31st May. Round Three of the Series takes place in Redditch on Tuesday 4th June.

A rider more known for her rapid sprint finish, Hannah Barnes did things differently in Colchester with a long solo effort that mirrored the one by Creswick in Stoke.
Wearing the series leader’s jersey, Creswick chased Barnes but was unable to dominate the race like she did in Stoke.
The most notable thing was that the crowds were already lining the barriers for the Women’s race and stayed on for the men’s raceÂ
Sarah Byrne had a lot of digs to get away but was unable to get away to chase Barnes.
