Tour Series: Motherwell

Jessica Roberts won her second round of the Tour Series whilst Jacob Hennessy won the mens battle royal in a race that saw Tobyn Horton break his collarbone

Tour Series: Motherwell

Jacob Hennessy took his first-ever Tour Series race win to help defending champions Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes into the lead of the series after the Motherwell round. The 22-year-old took the win from a group of five riders whose pace comprehensively split the field on the testing Motherwell circuit.

Hennessy headed home Joey Walker of leaders at the start of the race, Madison Genesis who suffered the loss of Tobyn Horton in the race with a broken collarbone. It was a good/not so good race for Saint Piran with Matt Nowell in the leading breakaway and Steve Lampier being caught up in the crash but taking the lead in the Sprints competition despite being run into and taken out of the lead group.

Women’s race

While there was a new name breaking the tape in the men’s event, Team Breeze’s Jess Roberts continued her dominance in the women’s race, with the British Road Race Champion making it two wins from two races in the Tour Series.

Her victory, ahead of Scottish Commonwealth Games star Neah Evans and Elizabeth Bennett of Campinense Velo Performance, also helped Team Breeze into the five Tour Series green jerseys that they’d claimed from the 2018 series.

Breeze now sit top of the standings, although former leaders Brother UK – Tifosi p/b OnForm are level on points after two rounds, while Campinense Velo Performance are three points further in arrears.

The men’s and women’s Sprints competitions also saw new leaders taking on the red jerseys in Motherwell, with Steve Lampier of the Cornish Saint Piran team and race winner Roberts taking the lead in the respective competitions.

Round three of the men’s and women’s Tour Series takes place in Aberdeen on Thursday 16 May with action getting underway with a packed programme of support events by Scottish Cycling from Midday.
