Tour of the Reservoir 2016<\/p>\n

17 April 2016<\/p>\n

Alexandra Tour of the Reservoir stage two.<\/strong><\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Brilliant sunshine greeted the Ladies assembling in Blanchland for stage two of the Alexandra Tour of the Reservoir 2016.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
A steady ride along to the Reservoir circuit saw the group lead by Team WNT’s Hanna Walker before two riders set-about an early lead.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
It was Team WNT’s Walker and Jo Tindley that led onto the first of five climbs up to the Manor House by over two minutes before Tindley found herself soloing around the Reservoir for thee laps.<\/p>\n

Holding a good One-Thirty-Five lead, several attempts at bridging across the gap failed with Walker marshalling the moves from Henrietta Colborne, Team Ford Ecoboost, Eleanor Dickinson, Drops Cycling Team and Natasha Reddy, RP Vision Racing Team.<\/p>\n

Hannah Walker, Henrietta Colborne & Eleanor Dickinson… Chasing Group!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The gap closed on the second ascend to the Manor House were all the chasers were reeled in once more.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
As the race progressed around the circuit and past the feed zone, Tindley still had a forty-four second advantage, but Drops and Ecoboost were making progress.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
By the third ascend and the first Prime, Tindley’s reign was all but over as the race flattened out, Tindley’s gap had shrunk to fifteen seconds.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
The race all came back together but crosswinds split the group into-two with around twenty-five going clear. It wasn’t long and they were all back together once more.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
The pace had proved too much for race leader Grace Garner, Podium Ambitions p\/b Club La Santa who soon found comfort and company from Hannah Walker at a more leisurely pace before retiring.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
As the Bell Lap approached Julie Erskine, Team Ford Ecoboost had a ten second lead from two chasers Anna Turvey, Tyneside Vagabonds and Maddi Campbell, Team Footon Velosport. These two had come from an earlier split of twelve escapees, but reformed one final time before the final push to the line.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
With around two-minutes advantage, the victory was going to one of the girls from this leading bunch including Nikki Juniper, Eleanor Dickinson, Alice Barnes and Alice Cobb.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Five-Hundred meters remaining, the group had fragmented slightly up the steep climb to the reservoir . It was Alice Barnes, Team 100%ME who’s head came into view firstly, stomping on her pedals with under fifty meters to the finish-line. Unable to match the speed of Barnes, it was left up to Juniper and Lucy Shaw, Drops Cycling to battle for the final podium placements.<\/p>\n

After round two of the Women’s Road Series 2016, Nikki Juniper, Team Ford Ecoboost moves up-to the top of the leader board going into round three in the Lincoln Grand Prix in mid May.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Nikki Juniper talks to Cycling Shorts after the Podium Presentation<\/strong>: “We knew everyone was going to be looking at us really! There’s some big teams here. You’ve got the new GB full team”, “Breeze”, “Drops”, “WNT”, “So yesterday we got Charline on the podium, which is what we wanted. Job done!”, “And today was more about myself, the girls worked so hard for me to put me in a good position. Kinda wanted to control it (the race) until the last lap, and that’s where we said I would go, on the climb.” And I went!<\/em><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
“We got a bigger group than I would of liked!”. “There was still some good sprinters left in that group. I’m not a pure sprinter, I’m an all rounder. So I knew the chances of winning against Alice (Barnes) and the likes of the Drops”. “I was kinda edging my bets really. But it came round and my legs were cramping, but we went for the climb and all of us were suffering”. “Alice had a cracking sprint and I just managed to get round Lucy (Shaw) and Ellie Mae Dickinson, and they are class sprinters, so I’m really pleased”. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Alexandra Tour of the Reservoir’s Women’s Race started the days action off, after an hours delay due to the return of more overnight Wintery weather.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Four girls made an initial break once they were on the Kermese Style circuit course of the Dam Wall. The main group then reformed by lap three in this reduced ten-lap race.<\/p>\n

This second in the Women’s Road Series event had attracted an twenty-percent more field than the Men’s event, but the promise of harsh conditions and poor health had reduced the sign-on to eighty-one riders starting the day.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
It all came down to the final big bunch sprint across the Dam Wall with Garner just edging out Lowther across the line.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
It’s Grace Garner’s first visit to the Tour of the Resevoir, and she’ll start stage two in the Pink Champion System’s leaders Jersey.<\/p>\n

Tom Moses victory came after a gruelling seven lap circuit of Derwent Water Reservoir.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
An active Peloton from the start saw a lone escapee after the official Start. Neon Velo’s Jeremy Durrin attacked on the first lap, but got reeled back for the start of lap two.<\/p>\n

Madison Genesis’s Matt Cronshaw broke free soon after and gained around a minute, taking the first Prime of the race.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
A second rider bridged across Harry Tanfield, Pedal Heaven, followed by a third, Tom Moses. With eight more trying to bridge. The lead had been reduced to 20s according to race radio.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Moses took the second Prime and the trio had build a 1.23s lead.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Cronshaw drifted back towards the Peloton as the time gap reduced to 20s once more.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Over the third Prime, the original break-away had all but been caught, but a five man group counter-attacked on the far-side of the Reservoir, Moses being one of them, they soon had a three minute lead.<\/p>\n
