There was a battle royal at the front of the field in this race between Max Wharton of Calder Valley & Gary Priestley of Salford. The pair finished way ahead of the following pack with Max Wharton just shading it over the second place man by just three seconds and setting a new course record in the process. It was great racing between these two athletes.
The rest of the field came home nearly four minutes after the battling duo with Andy Collins leading the Barlickers home with another top class run. Barlick were joint second place team along with Todmorden, although strictly speaking, they should have been third, based on the third counter rule.
