Team manager Andy Moore was impressed with his troops’ performance, saying: “Consistency is the key to maintaining our success, and we demonstrated how effectively we can work as a team. Adam needed a good position near the end, and the other lads helped him pull through.
“Another points-scoring result is extremely pleasing, and we head into next week’s racing with continued confidence. We are looking to strengthen the team with more exciting, young talent and further firepower, which will add to our capabilities.”
This weekend, the team head to Birmingham for a spell of criterium racing, the fast and furious pace of which will provide a change from open road racing.
