Dan McLay and Annasley Park win Otley Grand Pix races (video)

Dan McLay (Bretagne-Seche Environnement) won the Otley Grand Prix in West Yorkshire on Wednesday evening, with Annasley Park (Giordana-Triton) claiming the victory in the women’s event.

McLay out-sprinted Chris Latham after the latter’s 100% ME team had played a large role in trying to organise the race for Latham during its closing stages.

Jon Mould (One Pro Cycling) came home for third in the opening round of the British Cycling Elite Circuit Race Series.

Park took the women’s race win after spending almost its entirety in an escape with Dame Sarah Storey (Pearl Izumi-Sports Tours International). Nineteen-year-old Park got the better of the multiple Paralympic champion in the close final sprint.

Park’s Giordana-Triton team-mate Nicola Juniper headed the chasing group home in third to continue her lead in the British Cycling Women’s Road Series with two rounds remaining.
