Brenton Jones and Eileen Roe the winners at Motherwell Tour Series

…. Easy …. Brenton Jones expression says it all as he wins the sprints for the Motherwell round of the Tour Series

Even easier, 75 metres from the line and Eileen Roe is already celebrating her second successive win at Motherwell and her second in a row in the 2017 series after a win in Bath

Brenton Jones propelled JLT Condor back into the lead of The Tour Series with his second victory of the Series, outsprinting Team Raleigh GAC’s Enrique Sanz in Motherwell to help his squad to the win.

Victory on the night puts JLT Condor into a one-point lead over Madison Genesis as they head to Aberdeen on Thursday (25 May) for Round Eight of the 2017 Series.

In the men’s event, a fast paced round saw constant attacking and aggressive riding as JLT Condor and Madison Genesis each sought the upper hand. Eventually it came down to a mass 28-rider sprint, with both teams equally represented but JLT Condor helped back into the lead thanks to Jones, Graham Briggs and Ed Clancy all finishing in the top five.

A highly commendable sixth was Tom Pidcock, making his Tour Series debut for the PH Mas – Paul Milnes – Oldfield guest team, while Spaniard Sebastian Mora retains the Wiggle Points Jersey with what is approaching an insurmountable lead. Jones’ last lap effort earned him the Fastest Lap award

A rider who has been on the podium at every round is Sprints leader Seb Mora of Raleigh GAC

Raleigh GAC rider Enrique Sanz was second on the night adding yet another podium place to his record in the 2017 Tour Series, one of two riders (Brenton Jones the other)  who have the biggest impact in the individual standings.

Leaders at the start of the race, Madison Genesis really took the race up late on to try and break JLT Condor but were unable to and finished the night in second place.

So the series leaders going into the new round in Aberdeen are JLT Condor

WOMEN

The lead for Drops in the Women’s Grand Prix Series remains much larger, despite the efforts of home duo Eileen Roe and Katie Archibald for Team WNT in Motherwell. Both riders had featured strongly throughout the race, but it was the former who eventually escaped as a part of a four-rider group who looked set to contest the finish.

That was however until Archibald turned on the burners and bridged across a 30-second gap with Rebecca Durrell for company, setting up a seven rider sprint for victory, which Roe came out on top of.

Despite the win for Team WNT, Drops are edging closer to their Women’s Grand Prix Series title with a commanding lead heading to the final event in Stevenage, while Storey Racing’s Ejay Harris needs just one-point to clinch the Sprints Jersey at Round Eight.

Winner Eileen Roe

Double success is also on the cards Drops, as Durrell leads the individual standings ahead of teammate Annasley Park.

The men’s teams head to Aberdeen next for Round Eight on Thursday 25 May, the first visit for The Tour Series to the Granite City, with a circuit based in the heart of the city on Union Street and Union Terrace.
