Result: East & West Midlands Regional Road Race

The race took place for the first time in Duffield on a 17.2 km circuit featuring 224 meters of elevation per lap. The open race covered 125 km, consisting of 7.5 laps, while the women’s race was 90 km long with 5.5 laps.

In the open race, an early breakaway of three riders formed on the first lap and held a lead of over a minute for most of the race. Due to heavy showers and the difficulty of the course, the peloton experienced constant changes. A chasing group developed by the fifth lap, and the remaining riders eventually split into three groups, the front of which caught the leading trio to contest the win. Adam Lewis secured a commanding win ahead of Caleb Pain, with Oliver Dawson finishing third. The East Midlands Champion was Adam Lewis (Team Skyline), and the West Midlands Champion was Dan Barnes (Spectra Racing).

It was an excellent day of racing, and congratulations go out to everyone who competed.
