Ed Ashby took victory in the Finsbury Park Road Race, coming through a bunch sprint finish to win.

Although lots of attacks were made during the 56-mile race, nothing stuck and nobody managed to make a clean break from the field.

But as the finish line came into sight, a number of the riders competed for the win with a keenly-contested sprint.

Ashby, 38, held his challenge together impressively to hold off the competition and take first place. Harry Godding (PM Racing) was second to cross the line with Gray Turnock (Finsbury Park) filling the last spot on the podium.
