Tour Series: Aberdeen

Jess Roberts makes history winning her third round of the series in a row whilst Alex Paton led his team to victory in a brutal race around the streets of Aberdeen

Tour Series: Aberdeen

Jess Roberts made it three wins from three races in the Aberdeen round of the Tour Series as the British Road Race Champion continues to dominate in the women’s series. Roberts becomes the first female to take three consecutive race wins since the Series began in 2010 and helped Team Breeze take an extended lead at the top of the standings.

While Roberts was taking her fifth career Tour Series round win, in the men’s Series it was a first time individual victory for Alex Paton, with the Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes rider winning from a four-rider group that lapped the entire field on the 1.2-kilometre Aberdeen circuit.

Paton outsprinted Freddie Scheske, whose consolation was the Brother UK Fastest Lap award, and World and Commonwealth Champion Charlie Tanfield, with the fourth place and the Eisberg Sprints jersey going to Madison Genesis rider Tom Moses.

2015 champions Madison Genesis now trail Canyon dhb p/b Bloor Homes by two points at the top of the standings, with a strong performance from Scheske’s Vitus Pro Cycling p/b Brother UK on the night in Aberdeen keeping them just off the pace at three points behind.

With team victories in Motherwell and Aberdeen this week added to Roberts’ trio of individual wins, Team Breeze moving them a point clear of Brother UK – Tifosi p/b OnForm and five clear of third placed Campinense Velo Performance.

While Roberts headed to victory on the street of the Granite City by 20 seconds, home fans did have the chance to cheer on Olympic Champion Katie Archibald, racing alongside Neah Evans in a Scottish guest team, to second place on the road, just ahead of Lincoln Grand Prix winner Rebecca Durrell.

Round Four of the men’s and women’s Tour Series takes place at the longest serving venue on the calendar, Durham, on Saturday (18 May). Riders will tackle the cathedral city’s infamous circuit, featuring the cobbled climb of South Street, for a tenth season, with the women’s race getting underway at 17:30 and the men’s at 19:00.
