Following on from his fine win on Tuesday in the TLI races, James Jackson took second on the final night of the ESL series to help him secure the overall win.
It was rather a wet evening which probably contributed to the small field, but 24 riders turned up to contest the race on Ford's Dunton test track on Thursday 14th June.
For most of the first half of the race the bunch remained intact, with the few attackers never gaining much ground due to the high speed of the pack on the back straight. With about 45 minutes of the race gone, Alex Dowsett (100%ME) counter attacked, just as Adam Norris (PCA/Evans Cycles RT) was pulled back, and drove himself away from the chasers. Knowing Alex's strength and time trialling prowess, James Jackson tried hard to latch on but could not quite make the back wheel. That was the last the bunch saw of Alex as he disappeared into the gloom and even managed to put 1/3 lap into the bunch by the finish to take the win. The bunch remained together to sprint it out for second with James taking second from Adam Norris and Craig Stevens (PCA/Ciclos Uno) coming in third.
Results:
1.) Alex Dowsett: 100% ME
2.) James Jackson: PCA/Ciclos Uno
3.) Adam Norris: PCA/Evans Cycles RT
4.) Craig Stevens: PCA/Ciclos Uno
5.) Nicholas Hasler: Essex Roads CC
