Location: Victoria Park, Leamington Spa
Event: 6 April 2013
Report: Snowdon Sports
The Victoria Park Criteriums went without a hitch this year with all of the races climaxing in exciting sprint finishes, being won by no more than a wheel.
But despite the hard-fought nature of the races, two men clearly dominated proceedings with James Taylor of MJS Racing winning both category three races and Stuart Chung of www.twenty3c.co.uk clearing up in category four.
There was also a team time trial race which was won by MJS Racing with a scratch team made up of riders from different stables coming in second.
