the British Cycling Elite Circuit Race Series<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Pre Race<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Round two of the British Cycling Elite Circuit Race\u00a0Series returned to the Stockton Cycling Festival for the forth year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Part of a whole weekend of cycling activities, The Elite Circuit Race starts on the Friday Evening around the High Street in Stockton-On-Tees. The Saturday has a number of Sportive Rides that suit most abilities. On Sunday, The Sky Ride runs in conjunction with the Elite Road Series Velo29-Altura Grand Prix. The Grand Prix Series is the second half of the British Cycling calendar, and the Velo29 Altura Stockton Grand Prix resumes the racing season after the National Championships.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Round one of the Elite Circuit Race Series was held in Otley prior to the Le Tour Yorkshire Grand Depart. Combining a Women&#8217;s Event that was won by local girl Lizzie Armitstead (Boels Dolmans), Several Youth &amp; Novice Races, and finishing the evening with Round One of the Elite Circuit Series that Adam Blythe (NFTO Pro Cycling) won.\u00a0Over 10000 spectators lined the course in a carnival atmosphere, and Tour de France Director Christian Prudhomme and Tour de France Legend Bernard Hinault watched the nights racing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In-between the first two\u00a0rounds of the Circuit Series, the National Circuit Championships were held in Hull, mid-week. Adam Blythe (NFTO Pro Cycling) went on to win the National Jersey, whilst Eileen Roe (Starley Primal Pro Cycling) took the Women&#8217;s Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Adam Blythe wasn&#8217;t down to ride the race tonight, nor second place man Ed Clancy (Rapha Condor JLT) but last years winner here in Stockton, George Atkins (Team Raleigh) is looking to defend his win.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Race<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>George Atkins out sprints Scott Thwaites (NetApp Endura) to secure his second win in a row here in Stockton. Winning by a bikes length, the evening had started off with a delay from the previous race.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Team Raleigh were the dominant force, but that didn&#8217;t stop the other riders from trying to make a break.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The course had been modified from the previous race, cut short, but additional laps were added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With early breaks from Alex Blain (Team Raleigh) Matt Cronshaw (Velosure Giordana), Dean Downing (NFTO Pro Cycling) and David Lines (Starley Primal Pro Cycling) nothing seem to stick.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ian Wilkinson, Matthew Boulo and Alex Blains (Team Raleigh) all had a go on the front, but in the later stages, it was Richard Handley (Rapha Condor JLT) that seemed to get the furthest ahead.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the final few laps were approaching, the leading group were lapping the back riders, and in the final few corners towards the finish line, Hadley took a longer route around these stragglers to come in forth for the sprint. Dean Downing who rode a solid race throughout lead the group in for third position. Whilst the first local rider was Alex Bottomley (Wheelbase Altura) who came in further down on the night.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Result<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>George Atkins\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Team Raleigh<\/li>\n<li>Scott Thwaites\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Netapp Endura<\/li>\n<li>Dean Downing\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 NFTO Pro Cycling<\/li>\n<li>Richard Handley\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Rapha Condor JLT<\/li>\n<li>Alex Blain\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Team Raleigh<\/li>\n<li>David Lines\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Starley Primal Pro Cycling<\/li>\n<li>Matt Cronshaw\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Velosure Giordana<\/li>\n<li>Alex Paton\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pedal Heaven Colbornes RT<\/li>\n<li>Gruffudd Lewis\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pedal Heaven Colbornes RT<\/li>\n<li>Matthieu Boulo\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Team Raleigh<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Standings TBC after round two.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Series<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Otley GP<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stockton Altura Town Centre Races<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Colne Grand Prix<\/li>\n<li>Beverley Grand Prix<\/li>\n<li>Sheffield Grand Prix<\/li>\n<li>Wales Open Criterium<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contributor to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cyclingshorts.uk.com\/\">http:\/\/www.cyclingshorts.uk.com\/<\/a>\u00a0Full Image <a title=\"Velo29 Friday Crit Image Set\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cyclingshorts.uk.com\/2014\/07\/12\/stockton-on-tees-velo29-altura-elite-circuit-race-series-round-two\/\" target=\"_blank\">Set<\/a><\/p>\n<p>British Cycling Official Results &amp;
