Ed Clancy will line up in Blackpool this Saturday night looking to take a second consecutive win in the event. The national criterium champion will have his Tour Series winning Motorpoint Marshalls Pasta team behind him.

The new circuit is based around Blackpool's Winter Gardens and takes the riders through the visually arresting 'Brilliance' light show.
