Results – Colne Grand Prix
The much awaited victory for Raleigh GAC after so many near misses came in Colne on Wednesday night when Andrew Hawdon (Raleigh GAC) out sprinted many a ‘name’ to win his biggest race for the team.
The race was looking like a victory for Madison Genesis rider Tom Scully who made a late break for freedom but like so many brave attempts at going solo in these races, it failed, just, as the race caught him in sight of the finish line. Matt Cronshaw (Madison Genesis) was second and Felix English (JLT Condor) third.
An early crash on lap two took down several riders including some from JLT Condor, Raleigh GAC and One Pro Cycling. The race also saw a favourite for next weekend’s Ryedale GP, Richard Handley of JLT Condor, winner last year, break his collarbone.
After that the tempo was high in the race and whilst there were many digs off the front, nothing was going far although more crashes were said to affect the race before the final move by Scully and then the bunch kick.
