Curlew Cup | 2019 Finish Line in Stamfordham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Too close to call on the line for April Tacey & Elizabeth Bennett in round 5 of the HSBC-UK Women\u2019s National Road Series the Curlew Cup.<\/span><\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

An agonising wait for Tacey & Bennett, whilst officials checked finish line footage to declare the winner of the 9th<\/sup> edition of the Curlew Cup in Northumberland – which had everybody second guessing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elizabeth Bennett said afterwards<\/b> \u201cIt was a fast run in with about 5k to go \u2013 it was flat out.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You could tell which riders the teams were working for. I had Jo (Tinsley) & Charlotte (Berry) on the front setting the pace. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I just picked the right wheel in the end – It was very close \u2013 I\u2019m really happy to finally get the win.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This year I\u2019ve been knocking on the door \u2013 second & third, so It\u2019s really nice to get the win.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

My team mates did a fantastic job today, so I have to thank them to. I wouldn\u2019t have won without them<\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was Bennett (Campinense \u2013 Velo Performance) that eventually got declared the 2019 winner also taking the U23 prize with Tacey (Brother UK Fusion RT) 2nd<\/sup> and Charlotte Berry (Campinense \u2013 Velo Performance) 3rd<\/sup> along with the Queen of the Mountains prize & Abby-Mae Parkinson (Drops Cycling) 4th<\/sup> in a bunch sprint that came back together in the final kilometres on the run in to Stamfordham.<\/span><\/p>\n

An early solo break for Rebecca Richardson (Brother UK Fusion RT) that went after 4 or 5 kilometres saw her lead grow to around 30s at one point.

Over the top of the Ryals for the final time it came back together once more as the pace stayed really high on the final flat run to the finish line.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

April Tacey said afterwards<\/b> \u201cI knew the finish would kinda suit me cos it was fast & flat.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

My teammates made the breaks, but Emma (Cockcroft) got away & my teammate Claire (Steels) got over to her with about 4 of us \u2013 that stayed away for a while. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I just stayed in the top 5 \u2013 just followed wheels and didn\u2019t do any work. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It all came together over the hill. I felt good so yeh \u2013 I\u2019m ready for the sprint<\/i>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
