On Sunday 1st July, James Whatling rode in the SERRL 16 event in Godmersham in Kent, on a tough rolling circuit, and performed strongly to finish 6th.
As the bunch rolled away at the start of the 75 mile race, James found himself rolling away with Cesar Coco (Spol Caixanova) and Daniel Patten (Pacific-Flanders RT). The strong trio didn't need much persuasion to keep going and were rewarded with a lead of 45 seconds within half a lap. Aware that they would need help in order to stay away for the whole race, they were happy to be joined by a hard working group of 6 on the second 12 mile lap of the race, and together they worked well to pull further away from the bunch.
The breakaway pace was high enough to shed some of the less strong riders and, as the breakaway gained it's maximum lead of 2 minutes, only 7 riders were left to contest the finish. At the start of the 2km finishing climb, Daniel Patten pulled away and was never caught to take the win from Kevin Tye (ODSL.com Racing) and Ian O'Hara (Citihub).

1.) Daniel Patten: Pacific Flanders RT
2.) Kevin Tye: ODLS.com Racing
3.) Ian O'Hara: Citihub
4.) Alex Paton: VC Deal
5.) Cesar Cocco: Spol Caixanova
