28th May 2015<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arguably the toughest round of the Pearl Izumi Tour Series, the cobbled climb is every two minutes or so, and is a circuit you either love or loath!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ed Clancy “I love the City, but I hate the circuit” he told the crowd after the finish.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Returning to the Cathedral City of Durham for the sixth consecutive year. It’s one of the most popular rounds for the spectators to watch.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The race got underway with two neutral laps, before starting the 30 or so expected ascends of South Street!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Several attempts were made by ONE Pro Cycling , JLT Condor\u00a0 &\u00a0Starley Primal\u00a0to make a break stick.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
JLT Condor’s Richard Handley made that break, easing away every lap until he started picking up back markers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jon Mould, ONE Pro Cycling lead the peloton around, with Madison Genesis also helping to reel-in the escapee, whilst Round Four winner and team-mate Kristian House marshalled the moves.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Team WIGGANS strongest man Chris Lawless, helped chase down Handley, as the group dwindled down to ten.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With three laps left, the back markers were with-drawn, leaving only\u00a0ten riders on the circuit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Handley had almost caught the main group on the final lap, but House & Lawless were around half a lap behind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An easy win for Handley in the end, with House sprinting into second, to make it a JLT Condor presented by Mavic 1-2. Lawless resigned his-self to third, whilst Scully beat Mould to the line for fourth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Clancy, losing steam early on, in the race, gathered enough strength to blast around the course for the Quickest Lap contest. Whilst Handley had mopped up the Chain Reaction Points leading most of the nights race.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Madison Genesis retain the Pearl Izumi Leaders Jerseys once more going into tomorrows Round Six, in Barrow-in-Furness.<\/p>\n
