Marcin Bialoblocki, UK Youth, was in awesome form as he rode away from the best riders in Britain to win the Metaltek GP near Melton Mowbray today.

Solo win for UK Youth’s Marcin Bialoblock showing he has good form prior to the team going out to do a recce of the Tour of Britain course.

After a fairly together sort of opening lap where the action was at the back and lots of nature breaks, the climb at the end of the lap saw action and in short, a break with the first six riders went away on lap 2 and stayed away for the race.

The break! l-R: Tom Stewart (Raleigh), Marcin Bialoblock (UK Youth), Felix English (Rapha Condor JLT), Chris Bartlett (Metaltek KOO), James Williamson (Node 4 Giordana) and Ben Greenwood (IG Sigma Sport).

Marcin was feeling strong going solo for the final lap (why not he said afterwards, it was only 130k!) and the rest of the break crossed the line one at a time at the top of a long climb.

Jon Mould broke away from the chasing group and was the next rider to finish. The reward for team UK Youth was to then do some more miles! LoL

A lap later and the only chaser was Yanto Barker who was riding a very nice looking Cervelo S5 2014 model. He wasn’t feeling great and went back to the peloton.

The course’s climb was tough enough to see the riders finishing one at a time, James Williamson was second.

Tom Stewart, (Raleigh), 2nd in the Premier Calendar showed that he is adjusting to racing at the highest level after only a few seasons of racing.
