Round Two in both the Women’s & Men’s British Cycling National Road Series 2021 started in the grounds Ampleforth College with Ampleforth Abbey as the backdrop to a gruelling gritty 60 mile Women’s Race and 95 mile Men’s Race.

Alex Peters [SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling] took the bunch sprint in round two of the British Cycling Elite National Road Series 2021. A close second for Toby Barnes [) Crimson Orientation Marketing RT] and third for [Oliver Rees (U23) Trinity Road Racing]. 

The race pace was kept high with Canyon DHB Sungod & SwiftCarbon fielding a good presence at the front of the race.

Eventually a two-man-break formed with Canyon DHB SunGod’s Thomas Mein and Zappi Racing Team’s Matthew Kingston gaining over three minutes at one point. The two were caught crossing the finish-line with two laps remaining and as the miles drew down it was left to a six-man-group to sprint for the glory with Peters taking the win.

Canyon DHB Sungod after all their hard work left the race with the Series Leader’s Jersey on the back of Jacob Scott going into the final round in September.

“I’ve ridden Ryedale before & I knew how tough it is – if you go too early, then the legs can explode.

I was thinking I wasn’t strong & I got lots of encouragement from Ross (Lamb) my team-mate. Saying Alex, you are one of the strongest in the race. You can win this! And that encouraged me, helped me big-time”.
