UK Youth’s Chris Opie blitzed his rivals in the Hitters GP in Wales on Wednesday night near Cardiff picking a handy two grand prize money
Win for Chris Opie (UK Youth) ahead of Russelll Downing (Netapp-Endura) and Olympic champion Ed Clancy (Rapha Condor JLT). Photo by Marc. More photos here on FlickrÂ
Race was, according to some one at the race, controlled by Rapha Condor JLT so it was a bunch kick and so it proved with Opie doing what he did in the Tour Series and reminding everyone how fast he can be.
