We are here in the East Midlands for the first British cobbled race of the season, All the stars are out in force for this HC race, the favourites being, as always, Vanspeybrouck, Gusev, Steegmans and home favourite Blythe.
As you can see the weather is awful, but that's not going to stop these riders as they fight it out for victory today.
An eight rider break establishes itself: Finning, Ardila Cano, Polito, Cleaver, Shatskikh, Remme, Ratto and Hirschlein
50km to go and Ardila Cano punctures and is caught by the peleton, the rest of the break has 2 minutes
35km to go and the combination of gale force winds and tired legs cause a split in the peleton, Telenor are the big losers with nearly all their riders missing out.
And while Ikea are concentrating on reeling in the break Rowe, Hushovd, Verbist, Van Impe and Blythe all attack
Blythe pushes on past the break
and with 25km to go the situation is:
Blythe solo
Hushovd, Thomas and Verbist 27 seconds back
The Ikea lead peleton at 1 minute
20km to go and Thomas has left his companions behind and used a motorbike to get up to his leader
at 48 seconds and 22 seconds behind Hushovd and Verbist we now have 5 riders: Gusev, Vanspeybrouck, Steegmans, Eisel and Rowe
Verbist manages to catch the lead duo
Gusev, Rowe and Vanspeybrouck now catch Hushovd. The leaders are in their sights, only 15km to go
We now have a lead group of 7 as it comes together
Rowe and Vanspeybrouck go clear
and Rowe pushes on alone, will he bring home the British victory?
8km to go and Vanspeybroucke is back on his wheel, it's going to be between these two for victory now.
In the battle for third Gusev goes down, and brings Blythe down with him.
We now have a 4 rider chase group, Albert, Verbist, Steegmans and Eisel, they are 33 seconds behind the leaders
Behind them we have Hushovd, Quinziato and Thomas
5km to go and our leaders have 20 seconds of a gap on Eisel and Steegmans
3.5km to go and Rowe has pulled out a small gap, the home crowd are going crazy
and as they reach the final straight with 2 km to go Rowe looks like soloing to victory
Excellent ride by the Wiggle rider, taking the biggest win of his career in front of the adoring home fans.
Vanspeybrouck comes in second
Steegmans holds off Eisel for third
Verbist just beats Albert into 5th spot
Thomas sprints to 7th ahead of Hushovd and Quinziato, who rounds off an excelent day for Vespa in 9th
Pokerstars take 4 of the next five places with Kluge, Geslin, Van Impe and Ingels only interupted by Blythe who got back on his bike to finish 13th
Gusev is next and no doubt dissapointed as solid shot at 3rd turned into 15th.
Today belongs to Great Britain and Wiggle however as Rowe has jump started their season with an excellent result.
