Astley & Tyldesley staged Round 3 of the A&T Go-Ride Grand Prix series at Gin Pit on Tuesday evening. This event was a special one to coincide with the Tour de France coming to these shores and the riders received some TDF related awards from British Cycling. A heavy downpour of rain made conditions wet and unpleasant, but a tremendous turnout of 27 riders, many competing for the first time, thoroughly enjoyed themselves on the night.

The field was split into two matches, with the younger 11 riders going into one event and the older 16 riders into another. Max Quarmby won the Younger event with a maximum score, finishing ahead of Lucy Grantham and Frank White. John White raced unbeaten to win the Older event, finishing ahead of Ben Dickinson and Jamie Hill.
