Continuing a strong start to the home season for the Rapha Condor JLT team, Luke Grivell-Mellor drew first blood in the Cycling Development North West League with victory on the Pimbo circuit.
The Shrewsbury-based 20-year-old outsprinted Jacob Ragan (Champion System-Maxgear-Base) after 24 laps of the 2.1-mile course with team-mate Richard Handley, winner of the Clayton Velo event a week earlier, taking third place ahead of Dillon Byrne as the race came down to a shoot-out between the two squads in the race.
Tom Bustard (Herbalife-Leisure Lakes Bikes) secured fifth place a further ten seconds back.
Sean Hughes (Liverpool Century RC), 19, took the honours in the race for third and fourth categories, and the women’s race was won by 16-year-old Wakefield junior Lauren O’Brien (RST Racing).
