The East Yorkshire Classic circuit race was won by Mike Northey of Madison Genesis tonight after a solo effort at the end of one very fast race.

Live! East Yorkshire Classic Crit
Northey was part of a four up break that formed early on in the Elite Men’s race and with Raleigh having missed it, they started the chase but with two National Champions out front, Northey and Blythe as well as ‘Steve’ Cronshaw (real name Matt) and Graham Briggs, there was no way it was coming back. The peloton held it for a while but the break was gaining a few seconds a lap and soon looked like lapping the peloton.
The Commissaires took the decision to finish the peloton a lap early and just as well because seconds after Dean Downing had won the bunch kick, Northey crossed the line to win the race to show that ahead of the Commonwealth Games, he has great form. Adam Blythe won the sprint for second from Graham Briggs and Matt Cronshaw.

Podium for Beverley: Graham Briggs (3rd), Mike Northey and Adam Blythe (2nd). Adam came on podium and said he was pleased to be first Brit … tongue in cheek! – so does this make Mike champion of champions (Kiwi crit champion, Adam British)….
