E/1/2 race 1 hour + 5 laps

It was action all the way in the Elite race with Matt Cronshaw (IG Sigma Sport), Dillon Byrne (Maxgear), Julian Pearson (Teamwallis) and Fabian Brennan (Velocity WD40) forming the first break in the opening laps. When this was pulled back there were several more moves until eventually Dillon went again with James Gullen (Team Hope Racing), Henry Hunter (Teamwallis) and Stuart Reid (Wheelbase).

This hard working group, 2 of whom had team-mates policing the chase, eventually lapped the bunch. Steve Abbott (Teamwallis) and Shaun Pearson (Ribble Valley CRC) then separated themselves from the bunch for a few laps but were brought back to the fold. Henry Hunter then attacked alone from the leaders and held a small advantage in the closing laps for a fine lone win from Dillon Byrne, Stuart Reid and James Gullen.

Meanwhile Steve Abbot was away again and hung on for 5th with just Fabian Brennan for company whilst Julian Pearson rounded off an excellent evening for Teamwallis by taking the sprint for 7th.

3/4/W race 40mins + 3 laps
The bunch stayed largely in tact throughout the 40 minute 3/4/W race so it was a large bunch that contested the sprint with a nervous last lap and some taking to the grass as a result but Luke Perkin (Project De-watering) came home the clear winner from Duncan Smith (Vanillabikes.com).

The race for first female was contested in the middle of the speeding bunch with Jess Atkinson (Team 22) just getting over the line ahead of Zoe Armstrong (Scott Contessa).
