Davis/Node 4 Giordana is the first rider to show himself at the front of the race

We have five riders at the front just about to be reeled in after a failed attempt to get away

Nine riders have become the first successful break to get over a minutes advantage on the peleton, in this group are Coledan/Colnago-CSF Inox, Cummings/BMC Racing, Reynes/Lotto Belisol, Mayer/Team NSP Ghost, Salas/Team Optum, Horton/Team Raleigh, Cusin/Team Type 1, Debusschere/Lotto Belisol and Wilson/Orica GreenEdge

It lasted for several laps gaining nothing more than a minute and ten seconds until it was eventually reeled back in by the pack, but as you can see the weather has taken a turn for the worse so we may be in for some eventful racing before the finish

Brutt/Katusha and Debusschere/Lotto Belisol have got a small advantage as the race nears its climax

Brutt/Katusha has just nine seconds lead and is the only rider left to be caught

Konovalovas of Movistar has sprung a great attack that has caught everyone by surprise

And he hangs on for a great victory here in Round one of the Halfords Tour Series here in Kirkcaldy in Scotland

The first break of this years race includes the following five riders, Geniez/Argos Shimano, Boucher/FDJ, Bibby/Endura Racing, Malacarne/Bretagne Schuller and Molard/Cofidis

The lead has been growing steadily and is now at five minutes and twenty six seconds

Movistar have put Herrada on the front of the pack to try and reduce the arrears

Movistar are doing a Great job on the front of the peleton with the lead now reduced to two minutes and forty seconds

As the break reaches the twenty kilometre to go banner, race radio informs us that the lead is now one minute and thirty one seconds back to the main pack

Bibby/Endura Racing tries to go it alone as the peleton closes in on the five breakaways

Antomarchi/Team Type 1 leads everyone under the five kilometre to go banner with a great turn of pace but in doing so has lost the rest of the sprint train which has been swamped by the peleton

Kocjan/Team Type 1 has somehow made his way to the front as the sprint for the line starts in earnest

And he just about has the strength to cross the line ahead of a fast finishing peleton

Ian Bibby - Endura Racing

Matteo Pelucchi - Team Europcar

FDJ - BigMat

That was a much better start than we expected, Jure showed a good strength at the finish and came out on top
