On a bitterly cold afternoon Marcin Bialoblocki (Team UK Youth) sprinted away with three laps to go to win the Easter classic at the Wiltshire motor racing circuit just south of Chippenham.

Along with Magnus Backstedt (MG – Maxifuel Pro Cycling) the two riders eased away of the front of the bunch after five laps and they steadily built up a lead until three laps of the twenty four left when Marcin put in a big attack on the exit of Quarry corner and on the finish line he had already gain 30secs.
The first five laps saw many riders trying to develop a lead, but once Marcin came onto the front did it stick. So with these two away it was left to the bunch to decide what to do next. Four riders gained a handful of seconds but they were already nearly one minute down on the two up the road.
A group of seven now forms on the front and after ten laps these were to form the basis of a chase. The group consisted of Will Stevenson (Rapha Condor JLT), Ed Clemens (Spirit Bikes), Alex Baskaya (Dream CC), James Stewart (Kuota-GSG Spinergy), Grant Baynton (Ride 24/7 Willier), Alan Ridler (Pedal Heaven), James Locker (V Sprint), Yanto Barker (Team UK Youth), Will Bjergfelt (MG – Maxifuel Pro Cycling) and Josh Fox (MG- Maxifuel Pro Cycling)
At half distance Marcin and Magnus were leading by over a minute, and the seven chasers were clear of the bunch which was now a further ninety seconds back. This stayed the same until four laps to go when the chasing group were one minute six seconds down with the bunch at two minutes plus.
