Report/Result: Chitterne Road Race (Women)
Thanks to British Cycling South …
Lucy Lee (Brother UK/Team LDN) sprinted clear of Zoe Backstedt (Tormans ACROG) and Alice McWilliam (Grinta Coaching) in the final metres to win the Chitterne women’s race on Sunday in Wilstshire The exposed roads of Salisbury Plain have a reputation for creating attritional racing and the conditions did nothing to dispel that history as we saw the combination of climbs and crosswinds make light work of splitting the peloton.
The women’s race started with a stuttering opening as the race was briefly paused following a crash in the early kilometres but the climbs on the course quickly got to work breaking up the group and left a group of 31 riders to contest the win with one lap to go.
On the main climb, a five minute effort out of the village of Chitterne up onto the plain, it was Lucy Lee who was showing her form and leading the group over the crest with the group well strung-out in her wake. Millie Couzens (PH Mas – Paul Milnes Cycles) was glued to her wheel and junior Zoe Backstedt was looming ominously, clearly backing her sprinting ability to secure the honours. Lee was looking composed though and despite this show of strength, her rivals were not in a position to look to take an advantage heading into the sprint.
Maddi Aldam-Gates (Bath CC) was the first to launch her bid for glory on the long gradual climb to the line but admitted to her own inexperience as she was swallowed up by the main pack as they approached the finish and it was Backstedt who was leading up the left hand side of the road.
Lee though took the shorter, more sheltered line and with a glance over in the final metres knew she had the victory in the bag by a bike length.
