Result: Spring Chicken/Roy Thame RRs
In the National B Roy Thame Cup, a breakaway escaped early and from that a three man group went clear with still two laps of the 25km circuit. The three became two and from that, Ollie Maxwell won the sprint against Jack Freeman. Damiel Clayton (Ribble Pro Cycling Weldtite) escaped the remements of the orginal break along with Rupert Graham and after dropped the former winner in his first race of 2020, Clayton grabbed the final podium spot from Graham. There was another solo rider in 5th, Scot Auld (Ribble Pro Cycling Weldtite).

In the Spring Chicken, Joshua Crow-Stewart attacked early on and despite a chase, the gap grew and grew until it was over two minutes and he solo’d to a worthy victory whilst behind in the bunch kick, Sam Clarfield led a Lee Valley Youth Cycling Club 1-2-3 in the bunch sprint to clean up the minor placings.
