Tour Series: Barking (London)

MEN
Ollie Peckover crossed the finish line six thousandths ahead of a second ahead of Rory Townsend in a thrilling finish in Barking, to lead his Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling team to the win and close the gap at the top of the Sportsbreaks.com Tour Series with one round to go. Defending champions Ribble Weldtite now sit three points behind Wiv SunGod heading to Manchester for the 2022 Grand Final on Tuesday (24 May).

Speaking after winning the opening men’s race, 24-year-old Peckover from Nottingham said; “Last lap, coming out the bottom turn, nobody wanted to take it up, so in the end I ended up rolling through. I went and took the inside line, and Rory was gaining on me quite quick, but it was literally on the lunge. I had absolutely no idea I’d won until a good five minutes afterwards. Then it came over the radio that I’d just got it. So at that point it was a massive relief, to finally actually breathe”.

“These are some of the biggest races you get in the UK, with a lot of publicity around these events and with it going all around the country, it does attract quite a lot of attention. I started the year, not quite knowing where the legs were at, but then in the last few weeks, riding a few rounds of the series, your legs do start to come into a bit of form. It’s really nice to actually get the win tonight, because obviously that shows that there’s hopefully better things to come for the second half of the season.”

Peckover was one of four riders to go clear in the final stages and while the quartet initially worked well together, come the final lap cooperation broke down with the Ribble Weldtite rider first to pick up the pace on the back straight. Max Walker (TRINITY Racing) came through to lead out the sprint through the sweeping final two corners, with Peckover and Townsend accelerating past him for the long run to the line. The pair were neck and neck all the way to the line with Peckover’s lunge edging him across the finish line first, by such a small margin (0.006) that neither rider initially knew who had taken the win.

Behind, Walker took third with Wales Racing Academy’s Joe Beckingsale in fourth place. Bostock (Wiv SunGod) led in the bunch in fifth, but with Harry Tanfield and Cameron Jeffers in sixth and seventh, the team win went to Ribble Weldtite, ahead of Wiv SunGod and the Wales Racing Academy. Walker took the Fastest Lap on the night while Bostock holds a 18-point lead over Harry Tanfield in the Freewheel.co.uk Sprints competition with just 20 points left on the table in Manchester.

WOMEN’S EVENT
Meanwhile in the women’s series there were first wins for Ellen McDermott (Team Boompods) and Torelli – Cayman Islands – Scimitar, while Pro-Noctis – Rotor – Redchilli Bikes p/b Heidi Kjeldsen all but sealed the title with second place on the night to hold a fourteen point over Team Spectra Wiggle. An aggressive performance from Team Boompods throughout the showpiece women’s event, including a long, lone attack by Monica Greenwood, set the tone but ultimately no rider could hold an advantage on the fast Barking circuit that lapped Abbey Gardens.

That set up a thirty plus group of riders to contest the finish, with McDermott going all the way around the outside on the final bend to lead the sprint to the line. A length back on McDermott was Stranraer winner Emma Jeffers (Jadan – Vive Le Velo), with Alba Development Team rider Kate Richardson in third.

McDermott – whose prize was the Mary Wollstonecraft Cup, honouring the pioneering feminist who once lived in the borough – said; “I’m absolutely buzzing. I think the team played a pivotal role in the whole win, we were so aggressive the whole race, we were firing riders off the front, left right and centre. I got a bit of a free ride towards to end, because Monica just put in this massive attack and stayed away. I was just floating around in mid-pack thinking ‘nice, if this comes back together I better sprint here, because the team have worked so hard and got it’.

“For the last two laps the pace was quite high and it was really about holding the position. With the men’s race [first] I just knew how to win it, coming around that outside, you were able to carry so much speed because it was really fast in the finish. I think holding speed around that bend you basically had it in the bag, I think that’s how the mens race was won as well, so I was like ‘if they can do it, so can I’”.

Highlights of the Barking event will be broadcast on ITV4 at 7pm on Sunday 22 May. The Sportsbreaks.com Tour Series concludes with the 2022 Grand Final in Manchester city centre on Tuesday (24 May). Elite racing action gets underway with the women’s race (5pm) followed by the men’s race (7.30pm).

Both events streamed will live on the Tour’s YouTube channel – youtube.com/thetourcycling – and Facebook page with no geo-restrictions.
