Classic Races: CiCLE Classic 2023
Winner Luke Lamperti in the GSG Clothing UK winner’s jersey
1. After seven miles of racing, a five up breakaway came into Wymondham with the peloton not that far behind
2. The peloton pass by my little scooter ;-) as they come into Wymondham
3. After a half lap of the roads around Wymondham, the break had extended their lead big time as the peloton sat up
4. Peloton cruising after lap 1 around Wymondham
5. After two laps of Wymondham, the break was still clear
6. The pace in the peloton had lifted as it came past after two laps of Wymondham
7. A little later, a good half an hour or more, the break came over Somerberg and was still clear
8. A lone rider from Wales in the gap between break and peloton
9. The peloton meanwhile was lead by Lotto and Jacob Scott (third last year) had many a split and the race of attrition was well under way with many a dropped rider
10. To Owston and that break was getting smaller but still clear
11.Lotto driving the pace hard behind the breakaway
12. Next time in Owston and a lone leader with the peloton not far behind now …
13. Trinity driving the peloton behind the lone breakaway
14. Stapleford Park the first time and the peloton had caught the breakaway and both Josh Giddings and Jacob Scott were still at the sharp end!
15. A big group still together for the battle for the win despite some attacks on the finishing loop, one which off course, and from this group Luke Lamperti was the winner
16. Rory Townsend with his special Pork pie, winner of the special sprints award
17. Joseph Smith winner of the King of the Bergs. The result sheet still to be updated .
18. L-R: Tijl de Decker (2nd), Luke Lamperti (winner), James McKay (3rd)
