NFTO was one of the teams that missed it and so put numbers on the front to keep it under control.

And when one of the lead group, Dave McGowan of Pedal Heaven was dropped from the break. his team rode too and soon it was back together on the finishing circuits.

With a lap to go, only a dozen riders were in the front with Lawless still leading but Erick Rowsell and others chased it down before Holmes made his move with 5k to go.

Steven Lawley (Metaltek Kuota) and Dexter Gardias (Pedal Heaven) were chasing Lawless and closing in before they themselves were caught.

Nikki Juniper wins her third Ryedale GP to go with the three National Series wins she has had. See an interview with her below.

A large field left the start for a longer, tougher Ryedale GP than in previous years

0_2016_Ryedale_Women_13

There was lots of attacking which split the field during the first two big loops with the favourites in the 30 or so left at the front

A smaller group was left behind and eventually black flagged due to a 10 minute cutoff.

The pace eventually started to have its effect on the large leading group and soon the 30 or so in front became ten, including Juniper, Julie Erskine, Beth Hayward, Annasley Park, Alice Sharpe  and Irish champion Lydia Boylan (Team WNT).
