Edinburgh &#8211; May 29th 2014<\/p>\n<p>Issued on behalf of Tour Series<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>The Pearl Izumi Tour Series<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Wins for Jon Mould and Team Raleigh in Edinburgh<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jon Mould and Team Raleigh both made it two wins from two in Week Three of The Pearl Izumi Tour Series, as the unique, team based Series made its first appearance in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mould took another dominant solo victory, ahead of Tom Scully and Kristian House, while Team Raleigh did enough with three riders in the top eight to take their second team victory of the 2014 Series.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Nottingham team narrowly beat Madison Genesis, who had three riders in the top eleven, including second placed Scully, while Rapha Condor JLT came third to have their lead narrowed to eight points ahead of next Tuesday&#8217;s Redditch event.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>On the tough 1.3-kilometre course, featuring a long cobbled climb through the Grassmarket and up Victoria Street, before a fast descent back to the Grassmarket the field soon split up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After 15-minutes of racing and the opening Sprint a group of five riders found themselves clear, including Mould, Scully and House, plus Marcin Bialoblocki and Matthieu Boulo.\u00a0 With all five representing different teams there was little by way of an organised chase behind, and instead a second group formed containing the all-important second and third riders from each team.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>House and Boulo both made attempts to get clear, but at the final Sprint it was Mould powering clear, with House and Scully in pursuit.\u00a0 Once away though the NFTO Pro Cycling rider wasn&#8217;t seen again, keeping a steady lead over his pursuers to add victory in Edinburgh to that of Durham earlier in the week and Stoke-on-Trent at Round One.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Scully then pipped House, with Boulo and Bialoblocki both crossing the line alone, before Graham Briggs lead in the pack for sixth.\u00a0 Behind the Rapha Condor JLT man though came Morgan Kniesky (seventh) and Evan Oiphant (eighth), making Yanto Barker&#8217;s tenth unneeded for Raleigh to claim their fifth ever Pearl Izumi Tour Series team win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>NFTO took fifth in the teams but again dominated the individual prizes, with Mould add the Sprint win on the night and retention of the Sprints jersey to his individual win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The win for Mould also means he becomes only the second rider in Pearl Izumi Tour Series history to take three individual wins in a season, following on from Ed Clancy&#8217;s hat trick in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Consolation for Scully was another Costa Express Fastest Lap prize and his Madison Genesis team edging closer to leaders Rapha Condor JLT.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">*<\/span>Highlights of the Edinburgh race will be shown on ITV4 at 9pm

She said &#8220;It suited a powerful rider&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes was a difficult circuit that split the field up. No other rider needed to split the field up. So it was nice to have a small field from the start\u201d. She explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think six riders went away, and Katie (Archibald) went for one of the primes&#8221;. &#8220;Helen Wyman went with her up Victoria Street and I didn\u2019t quite have the legs when she went on the attack&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She said. \u201cClaire Thomas went off the front of the chasing group and I didn\u2019t think she would say away\u201d. Eileen admitted making a couple of mistakes but, \u201cThe rest of the riders were tired and nobody else wanted to chase back, so I decided to stay in the bunch, I sat on the front for a while and then jumped away towards the finish\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I asked Eileen how pleased she was to be still wearing the leader\u2019s jersey? She said \u201cI\u2019m really pleased, I\u2019m getting quite used to wearing the leaders jersey and I\u2019m going to have to defend it really well\u201d. \u201cI\u2019m quite surprised that I\u2019m still in the leaders\u2019 jersey&#8221;. She explained. &#8220;I had eleven points lead going into the round. Charline (Joiner) was in second but finished one place in front of me&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to have to go away and look at the website and have a look at the points. But I think I&#8217;m surrounded by Charline Joiners Teammates now&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Eileen received confirmation that she would be representing Scotland in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glasgow2014.com\/games\/sports\/cycling\">Commonwealth Games<\/a> starting in July in Glasgow, and you could tell in her voice how excited she was to of received the news. I asked her how she was feeling after the news? &#8220;I&#8217;m still on a high coming here (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tourseries.co.uk\/home.php\">Tour Series<\/a> Edinburgh), and I raced here on a high. So many people shouting my name around the circuit&#8221;. &#8220;I was saying earlier, that I didn&#8217;t think I knew that many people. So It&#8217;s quite surreal! Everybody shouting my name up that cobbled climb. I think that got me up there!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are two more rounds of the Women&#8217;s Matrix Fitness Grand Prix Series in Redditch on the 03 June and Woking on the 10 June.
