The 100 kilometre kermesse around a testing 5.4k circuit at Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire saw a 1-2-3 for JLT Condor as Tom Moses solo’d for half the race to win from Russell Downing and Chris Lawless who dominated the bunch kick behind

The win by Moses came after what he called a ‘negative’ race which was surprising as the event was the first one in the national series where the results count towards to competition for getting a ride in the Tour of Britain.

Instead of the smashfest expected in a shorter than normal race for a road race series, it was a race with very little action. Afterwards Moses said “I was getting really frustrated in the bunch and and I wanted to give it a go to try to get a few of us away but no-one came with me.”

“I thought I’d give it few laps to see it how it goes and rode a good tempo and found myself with a good gap. So I thought I’d carry on at a tempo I can hold and then ride the final two laps flat out.”

This he did and whilst there was a chase behind, it wasn’t having any effect on the gap to Moses and he crossed the line still almost a minute clear of his teammates Russell Downing and Chris Lawless.

A lap later and a break of three had escaped with Andy Hawdon of Raleigh GAC, Tobyn Horton of Madison Genesis and Kieran Simcox. The trio managed to hold onto their lead for three or so laps before the peloton with Catford CC/Banks Equipe riders at the head, were chasing them down round the Milton green and then up the circuits main hill.

A lap later in the same spot and it was again a rider from Catford CC/Banks Equipe that was again at the head of the peloton at the bottom of the main climb.

The agressive riding by Catford CC/Banks Equipe paid off and they made it into a group of six which included Joe Evans (Madison Genesis) and a teammate, Josh Edmondson, Ed Laverack and Richard Hepworth (Raleigh GAC).

The move though did not stick and the peloton continued to roll around intact until with ten laps to go, Tom Moses came past on his own.

The inform rider had a lead of just over a minute and lap after lap, that gap went up and down by a few seconds but if there was a chase in the peloton, it wasn’t making any impression. He came round at the bell with still a minutes lead and whilst there was a sense of urgency in the peloton led by a former winner Morgan Kneisky (Raleigh GAC), the gap did not come down much and Moses had plenty of time to celebrate the win before his teammates crossed the line in second and third to make the race there’s.
