Result: East Cleveland Klondike GP

The East Cleveland Grand Prix wasn’t a complicated race by any means. With a freezing cold wind blowing, three riders escaped the first time up Saltburn Bank, Erick Rowsell, Connor Swift(Madison Genesis) and Joey  Walker (Wiggins).

For most of the race, these three riders, with a lead of four minutes at one time, were brought back the third time up Saltburn Bank and from that, Tom Moses attacked with Jonny McEvoy and Tom Pidcock. Steve Lampier chased but couldn’t close the gap and so the three became two when Moses attacked again through Skelton with less than 10k to go but he was unable to shift Pidcock whilst Jonny McEvoy (Madison Genesis) didn’t have the legs to go with them.

Moses and Pidcock then raced to the finish where the Junior ‘Cross and Time Trial Champion showed what a gallop he has too by beating Moses with McEvoy coming in third and Lampier solo’d in for fourth.

Special jersey winners – Tom Moses (2nd); Jonny McEvoy (Madison Genesis, 3rd) Harry Tanfield (Canyon Eisberg, best local rider), Erick Rowsell (Madison Genesis, KoM), Tom Pidcock (race winner)

Top 3 – Tom Moses, Tom Pidcock, Jonny McEvoy

At 11.30 the riders lined up at the race headquarters for a the short ride to the start

In Guisborough town centre the riders lined up with 100 hilly miles ahead of them

At midday the riders left the start on a different run out to last year

In Skelton, a climb riders said was worse than Saltburn or Loftus,  Erick Rowsell, Connor Swift (both Madison Genesis) and Joey Walker are already on the front ahead of a peloton which has already lost riders after only a few miles of racing

And so it was that Swift, Walker and Rowsell went clear and opened up a big gap on the peloton

JLT Condor, Vitus Pro Cycling and One pro were leading the chase.

Rowsell was doing the  KoM points easy well ahead of Walker and Swift

JLT Condor and One Pro were by now bringing them back

And on the third lap on the double climb of Saltburn and Skelton, the winning break was formed after an attack by Tom Moses who was joined by Tom Pidcock and Jonny McEvoy (Madison Genesis)

Steve Lampier (Saint Piran) had missed the move being too far back but was chasing hard just ahead of a small group

In the chase group was Pidcocks teammate Gabz Cullaigh, who won CiCLE the week before and riding the climbs well. Also there was Max Stedman of Canyon Eisbery and Joey Walker of the original break

The chasers never saw the trio again and Pidcock outsprinted Moses

Whilst Jonny McEvoy (Madison Genesis) was on his own in third.
