Peterborough Cycling Club’s professional rider Steve Lampier was in tremendous form at the weekend.
Riding for his Raleigh/GAC trade team, the city-based cyclist won the Totnes-Vire Two-Day stage race by riding away from a very strong field on the iconic Haytor climb on Dartmoor.
In blustery, wet and at times dangerous conditions, he stamped his authority on the Elite field and rode away to not only win the final stage but grab enough advantage to win overall.
He now looks forward to the World Tour event, the three-day Tour de Yorkshire over the May Bank Holiday.
The club’s Alston Country Homes/Qualitetch sponsored team were in action in the Northants CRA Handicap road race at Old on Saturday. James Boardley placed eighth, Nick Berwick 10th, Steve Wood 12th with Seb Smith and Seb Ward finishing in the main bunch.
Smith rode the CC Ashwell 20.7 mile Hardriders TT on Sunday and finished 10th in a time of 1hr 37 seconds.
