Blain wins Rutland-Melton Classic

Franchman Alexandre Blain of Endura Racing won the Rutland-Melton International CiCLE Classic today to continue his team's strong start to the season. The race was run in very wet conditions with the route having to be changed to avoid flooding and very few riders finishing. A leading group of 12 riders were able to escape and Blain made many attempts to breakaway. Eventually he got away and quickly built up a commanding lead which enabled him to take the win by almost two minutes. Behind the chase had broken up into small groups and Canadian Jamie Sparling took second place ahead of the leading British rider, James McCallum.

Result
1. Alex Blain - Endura Racing
2. Jamie Sparling - Raleigh-GAC +1'59"
3. James McCallum - Rapha-Condor-Sharp +2'02"
4. Tobias Erler - Arbö Gebrüder Weiss-Oberndorfer +2'39"
5. Yanto Barker - UK Youth +2'57"
