Starting and finishing in the central market square in Salisbury, the racing and action were non-stop with some great viewing vantage points. The route was 110 miles, around a circuit with some very big climbs, that they would lap 5 times.
The race started at 11:00am and finished just after 3pm. The access to the riders and teams was excellent. With lots of pro teams in attendance with some top riders named to race. I happily wandered around the market square in Salisbury amongst the teams and riders as the readied themselves for a day's racing in some blistering hot sunshine.
After watching the 'roll-out' at 11:00am in Salisbury city centre, I jumped into my car and drove initially to the village of Walton to watch two laps and then on to Windwhistle to be at the top of the second of some large climbs the riders were undertaking throughout the race.
The action was fast and frenetic throughout, with a sprint finish. A thoroughly great day of racing. B
Below is the short summary video of the racing from British Cycling.
The race was won by NFTO rider Ian Bibby, with teammate Jonathan McEvoy taking the overall series green jersey.
Highly recommended event. More details can be seen about the previous and next rounds of the Motopoint Spring Cup Series on the British Cycling website
