BEAUMONT TROPHY START LIST

Former National Champion Russell Downing (Health Net/Maxxis) heads the field at this Sunday's Premier Calendar round in Northumberland - the Beaumont Trophy.

One thing is for certain, this round will define who leads the 2007 series. Currently, Chris Newton (Recycling.co.uk) and Russell's brother, Dean Downing (Rapha Condor) jointly head the series' point table. With both riders on the start line, one has to come out on top.

A large field of 99 riders will traverse the 170-kilometre event, starting and finishing from the village of Stamfordham. You can view a detailed map of the course here.

This is the first season that the Beaumont Trophy has been part of British Cycling's Premier Calnedar series, the UK's top-level race series.
