Rapha Condor Summer Race Series 1 · 18/05/10

Write-up by Claire Beaumont

Saturday saw the first round of six for the inaugural Rapha Condor Race series at Redbridge Cycle Centre. The series features a full programme of racing for LVRC, 3/4, womens and elite.

In the ladies race a group of four soon broke away from the bunch. The break featured Amy Roberts, Lucy Garner, Melissa Burt and Estelle Roger. Roberts and Garner applied the pressure and rode away from the other two riders and worked to make it stick. In the final quarter of the race Amy Roberts rode alone to take victory over Lucy Garner.

The men’s 3/4 race was hotly contested. During the race no clear breaks managed to form and the bunch stayed together for a gallop to the line. Junior rider Alex Retirs who had featured earlier in the race won the sprint over Tony Mitchell and Will Hilton.

The Elite/1/2/3 mens race was fast paced from the start. Guy Powdrill formed an early break with another rider and the two worked hard to make it stick. Hard efforts by the bunch brought the riders back after a few laps away.
At four laps to go Paul Londors of Python RT attacked alone on the climb and gained twenty seconds on pack he continued to ride hard and stayed away to claim a solo victory. Matt Theobald and Blake Pond sprinted for second and third respectively.
