Sprinting into view with two-hundred metres remaining, Erskine had got the jump off Payton\u2019s wheel to win the sixth edition of the race that began back in 2012, briefly looking back, before raising her arms in celebration across the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good to get the win today going into the Nationals – as well \u2013 It\u2019s quite a boost\u201d.
\nSaid Julie Erskine after the race. \u201cThe Curlew Cup is a hard race, with three times up the Ryal\u2019s \u2013 it was always going to be hard – and it was so hot today aswell!\u201d<\/p>\n

Going on to say \u201cI knew if I could get over the Ryal the first couple of times, then we\u2019ll (Cycle Team OnForm) see what happens. We were trying to follow any moves that went cause Sian (Botteley) was second in the standings\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cChanel from Storey went, I just sort of followed that \u2013 Georgina (Panchaud – Bianchi) and Hannah (Payton \u2013 Drops) came as well and we just opened up a gap\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Conditions couldn\u2019t have been any better for this fifth round in the series, mid-point, as clear skies and a warm ambient temperature greeted the eighty-two riders that had signed-on to the start-line in Stamfordham.<\/p>\n

Set in the beautiful surroundings of the Northumberland National Park, this edition covered one-hundred-and-six kilometres, three laps, as the riders tackled the infamous Ryal\u2019s climb with prize money on offer that included a Queen of the Mountains, Points Sprint over the finish-line and an U23 classification and a first Junior.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Curlew Cup 2017 | HSBC-UK Women’s Road Series, On the Ryal ascend…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The race got underway at a gentle pace with splits forming on the first ascends of the Ryal. Around forty riders re-formed the main peloton and the first action came from Storey Racing\u2019s Jennifer George on the back straight with forty-seven kilometres covered. Joined briefly by Keira McVitty and three more trying to bridge, it wasn\u2019t long before they were all back together once more.<\/p>\n

Chasing not far behind, Katie Archibald, Team WNT Pro Cycling and Laura Massey, Drops Pro Cycling as the five moved clear and gained around fifteen seconds. Again it wasn\u2019t long before the five were reeled back into the fold of the peloton.<\/p>\n

With the final ascend of the Ryal looming, Series leader Chanel Mason, Storey Racing made the decisive move that shaped the final outcome of the race. Joining her, Erskine, Georgina Panchaud, Bianchi Dama UK, and Hannah Payton, Drops Pro Cycling as they amassed a thirty-second lead in the final run in. Panchaud attacks!<\/p>\n

Team Breeze\u2019s Emily Nelson tried to bridge across the gap, but ran out of road before sight of the village.<\/p>\n

Series leader Chanel Mason settled for fourth place, maintaining her individual series lead behind U23 year old Panchaud\u2019s who rode into third place.<\/p>\n

Archibald had done enough to secure the Queen of the Mountains and the Points classification bringing in the rest of the bunch in sixth place.<\/p>\n

Sophie Thackray was the first Junior across the line in 23rd. for NCC Group Kuota Torelli.<\/p>\n
