Result: Capernwray Road Races
(thanks Len & Deborah John (race organiser ))
Capernwray Women’s RR
This was the biggest women’s field that this race has seen for many years and possibly one of the strongest . Officials commented that the Women’s race was extremely well ridden and that they should be complimented .
This provided for a tightly contested race in which a group of around 30-40 women stayed together for the first 3 laps and then, after a series of attacks a reduced lead group of around 15 made it to the base of Sunnybank before eventual winner Lizzy Banks (Sunsport Velo) and Rachel Crighton (Team 22) , last year’s winner, launched an attack .
Banks sat on the wheel expertly before making the decisive move in the final 100m to claim victory. QoM was Rebecca Richardson (Hafren CC) who completed the podium placings , runner up being Rachel Crighton . Top Junior woman was Sophie Thackery (NCC Group Kuota-Torelli) who also placed in the top ten overall .
Capernwray Men’s RR
Matthew Garthwaite (Rhino Velo Race Team) and Patrick Clark (team B 38/Underpin Racing) attacked on the first lap and stayed away for 4 laps, cleaning up the KoM prizes before the race came back together for a sprint finish on the last climb of Sunnybank where Matthew Nowell (Bike Channel Canyon) was the clear winner. A special mention to Ben Barlow (Salt Ayre Cog Set) as the only Junior to place in the top ten.
