Jock Wadley Memorial RR

Rob Partridge wins the 2014 Jock Wadley, the biggest race of the year so far with a near Premier Calendar strength field. After being part of a break the escaped on the third lap, Partridge was dropped only 3 or 4 k out and chased back on only to find the sprinters looking at each other. So he threw in a ‘soft’ attack, was clear at the top of the hill and nailed it to the finish.

Adam Blythe signs on as a rider in the domestic racing scene and straight away made an impact.

Seconds after this was taken, they turned onto the circuit, gas was turned on and the fastest first lap ever was recorded. The race average, over 43kph, was the fastest ever as well.

First lap and the Roy Thame Cup winner Tom Bustard and Chris Opie in his new colours were clear of the peloton by a few seconds.

A lap later, all together but lined out in the tailwind.

Early on the field wasn’t that on it as they enjoyed racing in the sunshine and breaks were hard to make stick.

But soon a break did appear led here by Adam Blythe from Rob Partridge, Yanto Barker (Raleigh), Jake Martin, and Graham Briggs. Quality!

With the big teams represented, riders in smaller teams had to try and get across and plenty were willing to give it a go.

Later on in the second half, with the break 3 minutes up the road, attacks by the big teams in the peloton started to come as they tried to split it.

Yanto Barker applies the pressure and Jake Martin has to give best.

Jon Mould in the peloton goes clear with six to go.

And another splinter group goes clear.

 Jake Martin does his best to stay clear but was eventually caught.

Dean Downing, looking to find out how his legs were, leads a chase group as the race starts to splinter.

  Jozef Metelka leads the peloton chasing the groups in front.

Conall Yates (Ingear/Trainsharp) leads the peloton in a line through the finish with a lap to go.

And finally, after a long walk, I had to have a sit down and admire the view as the peloton crosses the Reservoir
