Podium spot for Mcevoy in Richmond
Richmond Grand Prix Road Race
Marshalls Pasta rider Jonny McEvoy came 3rd in the final Premier Calendar race of the season, the Richmond Grand Prix. The first 2 places were won by Rapha Condor Sharp riders Kristian House and Dan Craven.
Outnumbered two to one, McEvoy was unable to respond to all the attacks and counter attacks on a course with some fearsome climbs from the Rapha boys, and House went on to win the race alone. Craven managed to stay clear of McEvoy to take second whilst behind them, overall winner of the series, Chris Newton, won the sprint for 4th place.
The Motorpoint-Marshalls Pasta team are now in Spain for the 5 day race, La Vuelta Leon.
After the event finishes the team will then head to Brittany, France for the 12th August to compete in the 4-day Mi-Aout Road Race.
Team Manager Keith Lambert said, "For the lads it would be great preparation before the Tour of Britain of September. Bibby, Williams and McEvoy have all had good success on the Continent previously so hopefully it will be a brilliant experience for them."
