Jo in the Sprinters Jersey at the start of the race

The second round at Peterborough was not such a technical circuit but wasn't without its challenges....and crashes. Jo started this round wearing the sprinters jersey, earnt for her 2nd place in the standings. Luck was not with us for this round as Caroline and Adel had both been ill coming into the round. Also crashes meant that the girls were held up along the way. Unfortunately Bex was caught up in an early crash and an epic chase back on to the hurtling bunch is testiment to her strength that she managed to get back on. Both Jo and Bex were safely in the bunch but had missed out on the move of 3 riders up the road. This move was never brought back and so it was a bunch sprint for the group of 20ish riders. Some questionable sprinting saw a rider go down just in front of Jo and Bex who were then held up and unable to get through. Bex ended up 14th and with the crashes and illnesses of both Adel and Caroline, the team slipped down to 5th in the round and 5th overall. Jo lies in 9th place overall.
