News – Bulstrode wins Longland 2 Day

Bulstrode finished on a flat tyre in the opening prologue hill climb and conceded further time in the road race after losing contact in the finale. His luck turned on day 2 however as temporary traffic lights forced a late change of course, the hilly test across the forest replaced with the longer out & back down the A338 to Ringwood.

Bulstrode, riding in VC ST Raphael colors for the first time, clocked 43:23, the only sub-44 ride on a chilly October morning to win the Downton classic for the second year running.

Winner of the prologue, George Crammond (Soton Uni CC), grabbed second place. 1:08 down, it was a solid weekend for Crammond who finished 2nd on GC. Not surprisingly, overnight leader, Edward Hatfield (UK Biking/Copyrite) dropped out of the top ten, a lack of muscle power & more importantly a time trial machine costing the 15 year old, no doubt though, his time is coming.

Consistent Kim Little (Merida UK) claimed 3rd place on GC, backing up his 2nd place prologue ride with 6th place in the Sunday morning time trial.Little, a recent winner of the Bournemouth Cycleworks race seems happy on the road, off the road and against the clock and you wont catch him taking a break through the winter either!
