2024 Race Report
Here is your 2024 race booklet
A cold, wet and windy morning greeted the riders for the Andrews Trophy the first event of the day. The National B event, open to senior male Elite, 1st, 2nd & 3rd category riders, with an international team from China (Bodywrap (China) Team) also competing and making their first outing in the UK, started in a downpour of heavy rain.
Within the few laps, seven riders had broken away from the rest of the field, a break which was to grow every lap. By the halfway point in the race there were three distinct groups on the road, the original seven riders, followed by a larger group some 40 seconds behind, with the remainder of the field a further 2 mins behind.
By the time the break turned into Pan Lane, and with the finish just over a mile ahead, it was an all-out effort by the riders as they proceeded up the long drag to the finish. The final sprint to the line saw James Ambrose-Parish (TAAP Kalas) take the victory, over second place Clay Davies (Ride Revolution Coaching), and third place to Isaac Wright (Team TMC).
