After a slow start, a leading group of 20 riders including Motorpoint’s Pete Williams broke away with a ten minute lead on the remainder of the field.

Eventually, Simon Richardson (Sigma Sport) led a smaller break to take a win 54 seconds ahead of the rest of the group, with Motorpoint’s Williams taking eighth position, Ian Bibby (19^th) and James Sampson (22nd).

The Premier Calendar continues next month with the three-day Tour of Doonhame in the Scottish Borders between April 3-6.
