The six-man-break of the day began out on the larger, lumpy circuit around the villages of Thorpe Thewles, Carlton, Redmarshall, Whitton & Stillington. Building a lead to around two minutes the race had already covered one-hundred-and-thirteen kilometres at an average speed of forty-five kmph.<\/p>\n

A forty-odd group had already formed at the head of the race as the sextet [Dan Gardner, Finn Crockett, Joe Wilson, Callum Thornley, Robert Scott & Jacob Scott] forged ahead with a couple of smaller groups at the rear that split a lap or two before.<\/p>\n

Riding through a heavy pour-down, the six made their way back along to the Riverside Circuit with a Forty-second advantage. Luckily the rain had eased off and that spurred the Peloton to begin their chase bringing the gap to a mere twenty-one seconds.<\/p>\n

With Morgans-Slader running out of steam, Finney found herself off the front with no-option but to carry on. Indeed, that is exactly what she did. With no-fire-power left in the Peloton to bring her back it was plain-sailing all the way along the Riverside to the finish-line here in Stockton.<\/p>\n
