2015 Yorkshire Road Race Championships
17th May 2015 | from Marc Etches
The 2015 Yorkshire Road Race Championships, supported by British Cycling Yorkshire and Polypipe, saw riders compete on an exposed 14 mile circuit around the lanes of Epworth. Masters C+ and Juniors were the first race of the day at 10.00am covering 55 miles shortly followed by Women at 10.10am who raced a total of 41 miles before the E/1/2 race at 1.30pm.
Masters C+ and Juniors
60 riders competed in the Masters Mens Yorkshire Region RR Championships this afternoon covering 6 laps of an exposed circuit around covering 82 miles. Despite aggressive racing the racing took two laps to split before a group of riders manage to gain an advantage of over 1 minute. Noticeably the lead group didn’t contain any junior riders. As the riders came into view of the start finish area it was Rob Watkinson who emerged alone and held on to take a solo victory ahead of James Sharp and Giles Pidcock.
It was over a minute before the a bunch sprint emerged for the junior competition and it was Billy Robinson of Squadra RT ahead of Rob Scott (PH Mas) and Reese Wood (Velocity) who filled the junior podium.

Within one lap of the 82 mile race 4 riders had escaped the chasing peloton gaining a 45 second advantage. Within a further lap the break had reduced to three riders; Peter Barusevicus (All Terrain Cycles), Adam Duggleby and Richard Hepworth both of (Sportgrub Kuota).
Despite attacks from the likes of Tom Stewart, Connor Swift and Jake Tanner the peloton failed to form any organised chase and the leading trio gradually extended their lead which would peak at 4 min 37 secs.
Passing through the start – finish line with two laps to go a group of 9 riders had managed to gain some advantage over the peloton began to pull some time back bringing the gap to 2 mins 11 secs as the peloton began to split around 1 minute further back.
Coming into the bell lap the two Kuoto riders dropped Barusevicus and still had a 2 minute gap over the chasing 9 riders, and held to gap to 1 minute as the pair approached the finish line to sprint it our for the win. Finally after 82 miles of racing it was Adam Duggleby beating his teammate in a photo finish.
