Marcin Bialoblocki from the Motorpoint team crossed the line in second place with Ian Wilkinson of Endura claiming getting onto the podium for the second time in three days with a third place finish.

On a lighter note Hodgsons FC striker Adam Foster also made an apeearance at the race and was keen to pictured with his ‘bike’ at the start line, we at HU17.net think that Adam should stick to football having seen his effort of a bicycle!
