Eileen Roe wins wet Colchester race
Annie Simpson extends grip on Series lead and Sprints competition in Essex round
Eileen Roe took her first win of 2012, sprinting to victory in Round Three of the Johnson Health Tech Grand Prix Series in Colchester. The Fife rider beat American Ruth Winder and Alice Barnes to the finish line on Colchester’s High Street to make it three different winners from race races in the Series.
Round Three began in heavy rain, which relented in the closing stages of the thirty minute race leaving a select dozen clear in front, from which Roe sprinted clear on the gentle rise to the finish, leaving Winder and Barnes battling it out for second.
