Sam Jackson (Vanillabikes.com), who was third, writes … “A strong team performance by the Vanillabikes.com team at the saw me and Dillon (Bryne) make it into the winning break of the day at round two of the CDNW road race League at Saighton.
After an hour of fast attacking racing, there was what appeared to be a lull in the peloton leading to a group of ten riders including myself and Dillon going clear. With just over 50km’s of racing still to go, and some of the big teams not represented, it was clear we were going to have to work together to stay away so the group settled into the job with most riders taking their turn to pull on the front.
As the gap yoyo’d, the eventual winner Pete Williams was able to bridge across. With about three laps to go, the pace was lifted as the chase was on from the main peloton and this shed four of the riders from the group leaving seven. It was clear the two Node 4 riders were the ones to watch and we decided I would mark James and Dillon would mark Pete.
When Pete attacked on the back straight of the final lap, with Dillon sprinting to get on his wheel, all I had to do was sit back and follow any attacks from the other riders which never really materialised leaving the five of us sprinting it out for 3rd which I was pleased to take.
