Newly Crowned National Champion Jessica Roberts Sails Arms Aloft Across the Line to Victory Along the Riverside Road Finish in Stockton-on-Tees<\/h4>\n

Jess Roberts [Team Breeze] sprints to victory in the inaugural women\u2019s Stockton Grand Prix donning the newly won Red & Blue strips of the HSBC-UK BC National Champion.<\/p>\n

Roberts Said Afterwards \u201cI didn\u2019t feel great at the start \u2013 but I rode into it. It was a good race\u201d. \u201cWe just rode as a group in the race & I was the one feeling the best. So, we just collectively agreed with that\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were always in the moves and always had some there so I felt like we had control of the race. We were communicating well & always talking to each other\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe lead out at the end just went perfectly for us. Yeah, it was a real team effort \u2013 I couldn\u2019t have done it without them\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A race that normally lends itself to a bunch sprint for the men and the National Championships that were held in Stockton 2 years ago proved no different for the women this year.<\/p>\n

An early start on the Riverside saw 55 riders tackle the 113km undulating course with the traditional Riverside circuit finish that passes the finish line 4 times.<\/p>\n

A wearing down process in the heat on the day saw a handful of breaks form without gaining much momentum. With Breeze driving the train along, Callander & Panchaud [Dama Bianchi] had their go before a larger 10 ride group formed including series leader Sophie Wright [Torelli-Brother], National Champion Jess Roberts, winner of the National Circuit Champs Anna Henderson [Cycle Team OnForm] and Rhona Callander. Storey Racing spent a lot of time marshalling the moves with Ejay Harris collecting the most aggressive award.<\/p>\n

Returning for the final Riverside circuits the group stuck together to fight-it-out in the final kilometre.
\nRunning down from the top hairpin bend proved no problem to Roberts who has delivered a number of victories already this year, showed a clean set of wheels ahead of team-mate Megan Barker and third place rider Anna Henderson.<\/p>\n

HSBC-UK Grand Prix Series 2018 | Stockton GP – A win by a whisker for Matt Gibson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Gibson\u2019s lunge across the line on the Riverside Road sealed a doubly successful weekend for JLT Condor winning both the National Circuit Championship on Friday evening and the reduced length Grand Prix on Sunday.<\/p>\n

HSBC-UK Grand Prix Series 2018 | Stockton GP – Riverside Circuit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
It was a close call over the line with a photo-finish to confirm Gibson\u2019s win over Matt Walls [100%ME]. A race with-in a race meant loads of action from the gun, before two incidents left the race without medical cover. The race was halted until normal play could resume where JTL Condor & 100%ME tussled off the front without any significant gap lasting long. With the OVO Energy Tour of Britain wild-card selection on the minds of the Domestic teams throughout the day, pressure was applied all the way back to finishing circuit with around 2\/3rds of the original 147 riders making the cut.<\/p>\n

Further digs off the front in the closing laps were neutralized as around 40 riders contested the final kilometre. Emils Liepins [ONE Pro Cycling] took the 3rd place on the podium with Daniel Tulett [100%ME] & Chris Latham [ONE Pro] 4th & 5th. 100%ME took the team award on the day finishing with 4 top 10 riders. Series Leader & newly crowned national champion Connor Swift finish 14th to retain the HSBC-UK Series Leaders Jersey going into the next round with Gibson 6 points behind. Jack Pullar [Canyon Eisberg] sits 4th with Dan Tulett 5th.<\/p>\n
