A small 3 rider break got away mid race, the first concerted effort, but soon got reeled back and Jenny Holl took the next two sprints going to the top of the leader board for the first time.

Josie Knight (Breeze) & Kinga Ingram (Jadan-Cycle Space Disley Vive le Velo) had tried in-between Holl’s sprint wins but again, nothing was sticking.

Next to try her luck was team-mate Anna Shackley (Breeze) with 17 laps remaining going off the front solo. Collecting the penultimate 5 points, Shackley looked like she was going to take a lap. But a mistake by the leading girls saw the remaining points mopped up by Maddy Leech (PH-MAS), Amelia Sharpe (Breeze) & Millie Couzens (PH-MAS) as the pace increased, leaving Shackley about a half lap up.

With the final couple of laps remaining Shackley had no option but to hang-on out there for the double points as the peloton wound up the pace. Leech (PH-MAS) crossed the line ahead of Holl third. That finish cost Holl the Gold medal as everyone waited for the points to be checked & verified. Shackley was the new Points Champion.
