With 160 laps of the Manchester Velodrome ahead, the Open 40Km Points Race got underway. A crash after 30 laps or so breaks the rhythm slightly but 100%ME’s Chris Whorrall climbs to the top of the leader board. We are nearly half way through the race by now and Endura Racing’s Evan Oliphant goes on the attack. He climbs up to 2nd position behind Whorrall. George Atkins & Adam Duggleby then breakaway, but are brought back. Oliphant tries once more. Mark Christian then takes the next sprint and is joined by George Atkins & Simon Yates. As they break clear with 60 laps to go, they begin to share the points. Sky’s only entrant Ian Stannard & Endura Racing’s Evan Oliphant retire having chased the leaders with no progress. The trio gain ground. The field now stretched, begin to deplete. The trio finally lap what’s left of the field to gain additional bonus points, thus catapulting themselves clear of all other points collectors. Only 25 laps to go, Yates & Christian have 36 points a piece & Atkins 32. With 20 to go, it’s Yates with 41 points, Christian & Atkins with 36 apiece. On the penultimate lap Planet X’s Sam Harrison crosses the line first, followed by Atkins, 100% ME’s Jon Mould then Christian. Atkins now moves up into 2nd position with 39 points, Christian now has 37. Atkins wins the final sprint, Christian 2nd & Harrison 3rd. With Yates leading the points for the last half of the race Atkins also moves up to 44. Winning the final sprint takes presidence & therefore 100% ME’s George Atkins becomes the 2010 Open Points Champion.

Gold VC St Raphael ‘A’
Silver Science In Sport - DNF
Bronze CyclePremier.com Metaltek 4.30.749 beat Hargroves Cycles 4.30.827
The Team Pursuit produced two more drama’s of the day… In the fight off for Bronze CyclePremier were pushed to the every end, after losing a man and having to fight all the way to the end. They narrowly beat Hargroves by 100’s second.
In the race for Gold, Science In Sport chose to maximise the use of lead out man Jody Cundy, & he took the team round the first Km at full throttle. This tactic proved fruitful & his team made good progress on catching VC St Raphael. The laps went by, & it was just a matter of time before the Gold was in the bag for SiS. As the crowd were expecting the sound of the start gun to fire & finish the race, we were left instead, with the sound of Tim Lawson crashing heavily. Unable to finish with the 3rd man rule, SiS were left to collect the Silver Medal.
