Marshalls Pasta win the tour series
The Marshalls boys clinched overall victory in The Halfords Tour Series and the Bob Chicken Trophy with a strong display in Woking last night, placing three riders in the race winning break, with the evergreen Malcolm Elliott placed 2nd. Victory on the night went to Dean Windsor of Rapha Condor Sharp.
Malcolm Elliott revealed that the predominant feeling post-race was one of relief, to have finally clinched the Series crown. "Relieved! It means a lot more to me than the other guys in the team as I was fully aware it was my last chance to win here. It was very close last year and we were that close this year that it was really affecting sleep. It's a huge thing, so it's going to take a while to sink in."
Elliott's team boss Phil Griffiths was also relieved as the result. "Between Endura, Rapha and us there was nothing in it, but we went out there and put them under pressure. A tremendous night, tremendous."
To see all the action from Woking, tune in to ITV4 on tonight at the earlier time of 5.30pm for an hour's highlights show.
