Chris Lawless of Team Wiggins has won the GP of Wales in Abergavenny today

Report & Results: Grand Prix of Wales
Peloton leaves Abergavenny with 113 miles ahead of them, tough miles say the riders afterwards.
Dominic Jelfs of Madison Genesis led the way with James Gullen of Velosure Starley Primal past Raglan Castle on the first big loop
A little later and it was a rider from Velosure Starley Primal leading with Sam Williams of One Pro Cycling.
Behind them was a very active peloton
At Raglan Castle for the second time, Peter Williams of One Pro Cycling was leading with lots of splits off the front but the peloton was intact and not in panic mode… yet.
On the way to Abergavenny  and a sizable group had formed with eventual winner Chris Lawless, Dale Appleby, Mike Cuming, Rory Townsend, Karol Domagalski, George Atkins and leading the way here James Gullen.
The peloton meanwhile was split in three on a section of the course Gareth Pugh, our press car driver who lives locally, said was very grippy and it showed.
The third group on the road which came back together with the secondÂ
From the big group, a small group of four formed, Dale Applebt (NFTO), George Atkins (One Pro Cycling), Mike Cuming (JLT Condor) and for a while, Jack Pullar (Velosure Starley Primal). The four became three when Pullar was dropped.
The gap came down to a dozen seconds or so but still the leading trio held on lap after lap to their lead.
Chris Lawless had a good go at breaking clear and getting to the leaders and is chased by NFTO and One Pro Cycling with Raleigh GAC leading the peloton
Raleigh GAC had good numbers at the front, Same Lowe here, with series winner Steve Lampier doing a lot of work to bring the break back.
Three to go and George Atkins could sense the others in the break with him were getting tired and went clear on his own.
Atkins though was pulled back and Raleigh continued to lead the peloton, Same Lowe on the front.
Bell lap and by George, its Atkins again on the front for his team leading NFTO’s James Lowsley Williams
In a messy finale, where Alex Paton of Pedal Heaven went off the front, chased by Lawless, Graham Briggs (JLT Condor) and Yanto Barker (ONE Pro Cycling), with a official’s car behind a group being lapped stopped on the course said to split the peloton by some riders, Lawless went for it 700 metres from the line and with Briggs closing the gap to him, Barker made his run a fraction to late and the Wiggins rider held on to win. Briggs four laps out had to have a bike change after a rider ran into his rear derailleur but the man in form got back on!
The top three – Yanto Barker, Chris Laweless and Gragam Briggs.
