Pullar celebrates the win in Aberdeen

In what many described as a strange race, the team element for the Tour Series played straight into the hands of the ever agressive Bike Channel Canyon team. Always on the attack, in Aberdeen, the tactic worked perfectly as they got three riders up the road, James Lowsley  Wlliams, Harry Tanfield and eventual winner Jack Pullar. On the back, out numbered but in the game for the win, George Harper.

The break went early and with Tanfield and Lowsely-Williams putting the hammer down for their teammate Pullar, they drew away and despite a chase behind by both Raleigh GAC, JLT Condor  and Madison Genesis, the gap continued to open to the point by the final five laps, the break was not far from lapping the chasers.

The ‘hotdog’ turn saw the riders sprinting out of a dead turn every lap and that took its toll

The closing laps saw Tanfield and Lowsely Williams try and soften up Harper and Pullar too had a go at getting away but the One Pro rider was equal to the task and in the sprint to the line, Pullar was never going to let them all get beaten and dived out into the wind at 75 metres to go to look across and see he’d won his first round of the Series after podiums in the past. Harper was second and Tanfield third.

Lowsely-Williams, a Lord of the Manor no less, knows how to ride hard and did so for Pullar in the break

A good crowd was out in the sunshine to watch the race

With two points on the night, Seb Mora of Raleigh GAC is said to be mathematically secure in the Points jersey with two rounds to go.
