The Elite/1/2/3 saw a win from the rapidly improving James Ratcliffe of Fred Williams Cycles RT, soloing to victory from Matt Higgins of Node 4 Girodana.
There was an excellent turnout at the Wolverhampton Wheelers first circuit race of the 2012 season with a record number of 202 riders taking to the start line.
Simon Holt of Raleigh-GAC took third place in the bunch sprint. Craig Ansell sprinted away from a break of five to win in category three - a feat matched by his daughter Jessie in the under 16 girls.
Second place went to George Bate of MJS Racing who raced twice, also taking eighth place in the E/1/2/3 race.
Emily Kay, a regular winner in the West Midlands as a youth rider, continued her performance taking first lady in the women and fourth category event. Theo Merchant took first place overall in the same event.
Early morning drizzle did not faze the young riders and the race saw an excellent solo ride from under 14 rider, Ettienne Georgi, who claimed the prime and first place overall.
Kim Baptista held her own and beat her male opposition in the under 12 race to take an impressive first place.
Jack Rootkin-Gray of Solihull CC was the quickest under 10 and Iolo Dafydd of Towy Riders won the under 8s.
