With rain in the air, the Women’s race lined up at 9.30am for 8 laps of the 14k course in Glasgow.

After a lone attack was brought back, the race was a wearing down process especially on ‘Inception Hill’, the steepest climb on the course which saw riders dropped each lap with Emma Trott and Lizzie Armitstead forcing the pace at the front.

 A lap later and the front group had shrunk and lots of small groups were dotted around the circuit. Here Emma Trott forces the pace.

A small lead group formed in the final half of the race with Laura Trott, Lizzie Armitstead, Emma Trott and Dani King. Amy Roberts was part of the group but dropped with attacks from Trott & Armitstead.

Sharon Laws, defending champion, rode well after only six weeks preparation and said later it went better than she expected. Laws made the break with Armitstead etc but the pace saw her drop back to the chase group.

Joanna Rowsell, winner of the time trial championship, leads the chase group. She later went solo and caught Emma Trott who was dropped when Armitstead  put the hammer down to go solo.
