Nicola gets her first top ten at the Auchterlonie Memorial Stage Race, Wales

Nicola and Mel after the Crit

Nicola places 8th in the Auchterlonie Memorial Stage Race last weekend in Wales due to a consistently strong performance across all 3 stages. Day 1 began with a 5m TT and was followed by a technical criterium around part of the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells in the pouring rain. At the end of day 1 Nicola held 8th place on the General Classification with a 55mile hilly road race remaining on day 2. Nicola rode well and was still in the main field which had been whittled down to 18 with 1 to go. She went for a long one with 1km to go, but got swamped at the 200m mark. She managed to finish mid bunch hanging on to her 8th place on the General Classification.
