Post Race Interview

Rebecca Durrell, who lives only 15 minutes from Lincoln, powered her Boardman bike to a very special victory, a career highlight on Sunday, winning the 2018 Edition of the Lincoln Grand Prix

The Storey Racing rider was part of the very first breakaway of the day and despite a selection of riders catching these three for the last lap thrash around Lincoln, Rebecca and her breakaway companions, still had the strength to take all three of the podium places.

Anna Henderson of Team OnForm (sponsored by Brother UK and Primal Europe) was second while third place went to Nikki Juniper who won the Queen of Michaelgate award after leading up this iconic climb every lap.

130 plus riders for the Women’s Lincoln Grand Prix lining up in dry conditions after a very wet night ….

In summary, the three leaders (Durrell, Juniper and Henderson were caught by three other riders (Molly Patch (Fusion RT/Brother), Manon Lloyd and Jennifer George (Team Torelli/Brother UK) who bridged across the small gap between the main groups. With the time gaps so small, the time out front for the leaders looked like being short lived, especially on the climb where the groups could see each other, but Juniper and co continued to lead.

The pace out front, with Juniper gapping her rivals to go solo several times, became too much for Molly Patch who dropped back but the lead for the breakaway continued to be small and more riders bridged across and with a lap to go when the front group had swelled to 14 or more.

A late attack by Hannah Payton at a key part of the run into Lincoln failed to stick and with a teammate to help her, Durrell sprinted up the climb to beat Anna Henderson and Nikki Juniper to claim the top step of the podium.

Three riders dominated the race – Nikki Juniper (3rd) who led through the finish every lap, Rebecca Durrell who won the race and Anna Henderson who was second

The three leaders were joined by Jen George  from Brother UK/Torrelli and trying hard to also join them was another rider sponsored by Brother UK, Molly Patch of Fusion RT

And only seconds behind was the Team Breeze led peloton

But despite the close time gaps between groups, the leaders Juniper a few seconds here), the same five still led the race a lap later

Jen George (Brother Torelli) and a rider from Drops (Manon Lloyd)  gapped by Juniper, Henderson and Durrell on Michaelgate a lap later

Talented junior Pfeiffer Georgi and a rider from Team Breeze gap the peloton on Michaelgate in the chase for the leaders

A lap later and five are still together and Juniper is still crossing that finish line first ….

A lap later (and a lap to go) and the leaders were caught by a selection of a dozen or so riders…

The end result though was that the riders who had broken clear on that first lap took the first three places with Durrell winning …

… from Anna Henderson …

.. with Nikki Juniper third

Eleanor Dickinson outsprints Pfeiffer Georgi for fourth place

Another talented young rider, Sophie Wright of Torelli-Brother UK finishes sixth
