Stage three was held over six laps of a 15.4km circuit around Ramsey in the north east of the Island on Sunday (May 5) morning, a total distance of 92.6km. The race was being controlled by ourselves and Sportscover for the early laps, then Jake Kelly started what turned out to be the winning move.

The 18-year-old went clear in a five man break with three laps to go, and then was the only one of the escapees who could follow Mark Stewart (Team ASL360) when he attacked on the final climb up Bride Hill - the toughest climb on the circuit. Read more ...

The opening event at this years Isle of Man Junior Tour was the prologue which is on the prom at Douglas. The evening was windy and overcast with the possibility of rain. Steve Williams was here riding for Wales, and Henry, Alex, Charlie and Jordan were riding. ODP rider Matt Gibson was the winner with a 1.40 and Henry lead the boys home with an excellent 1.43, helped by the American Classic Carbons shod with Conti rubber, Scott TTX Aero helmet, and new Kukri skinsuit. This was a 10second improvement from last year, and good enough for 9th. Read more ...

A combination of strong winds, the deceptively tricky climb of Harby Hill and some very fast sections of the course turned the racein to a war of attrition. A series of groups at the head of the race broke up and came back together as the laps ticked and by the flag the field was completely blown apart.

The race set off from the HQ in Long Clawson in brilliant sunshine, with a stiff breeze but as the clouds rolled in, the temperature plummeted and the wind picked up. Read more ...

Henry opened his account this year with a text book ride at Litherland last evening. The hard circuit brings out the best in strong riders, and even though 'Crits' are not Henry's favourite events, he instigated the break, then attacked them until going for a long sprint out of the last corner. A great win coming from a very hard winter, well done Henry! I even managed 12th! Albeit a lap down.

We are pleased to announce the arrival of Steve Williams, a first year junior from Aberystwyth to the team. He will go straight into the race at Loughborough National Junior event this Sunday.

Racing on home ground, Ryan Bevis (NFTO) charged clear of lone rival Dan Davies (Team Wallis CT) on the final climb to continue his good start to the season with victory in Cwmcarn Paragon RC’s 66-mile road race in Powys.

The race was run off in wind and rain, and 31-year-old Bevis was in attacking mode from the start to instigate an early three-man break.

First time up the finishing climb Bevis was out on his own with only Mark Perry (Dream Cycles) left for company, and it stayed that way until they were joined by Davies at the start of the fifth lap of seven. Read more ...

Just shy of 100km, Stage 1 included one 3rd Cat and three 4th Cat climbs – one of which was the finish – and almost 1000m of climbing. The weather had changed, too – gone was Saturday’s bitter cold and sunshine to be replaced by hazy overcast skies – but at least it took the edge off the temperature.

Yellow jersey holder Zach May of Wales Junior Development Programme knew his slender lead of 38 seconds could easily be wiped out on those climbs – and, even if it wasn’t, Harrison Fielding, James Shaw and Joe Evans all started on the same time. Read more ...
