In the Criterium series, Raymond Loly recorded his first win in A Grade. The group was immediately under the pump with club member Peter Dawson, Athens Gold Medallist, leading the charge. Laurie Longworth and Steve Ware struggled with the pace while Phil Diesel, Blair Lasenby and Mark Roberts lost contact late in the 50min event.
