Exeter proved to be a happy hunting ground for the team of John Herety, with Zak Dempster and Dean Windsor joining Downing in the top five positions to secure the team win, while Graham Briggs added the nights Boardman Bikes Sprint competition to Rapha’s haul.

In the end Round Four of The Halfords Tour Series boiled down to a battle between Rapha – Condor – Sharp and Endura Racing, with both teams fired up in the thick of the action from the off, keen to stamp their mark on proceedings.

Under clear blue skies and in front of the largest crowds seen yet in The Halfords Tour Series, the ten professional teams put on an excellent race, with several riders and teams taking the opportunity to put riders up the road early on.

Eventual winner Downing was twice away in moves, whilst Sigma Sport – Specialized’s Simon Richardson enjoyed two laps of freedom as he countered a move to escape the peloton’s clutches.
