Graham Briggs (JLT-Condor) launched a successful solo move to take the victory in round three of the 2016 Pearl Izumi Tour Series in Edinburgh on Thursday evening.
Briggs accelerated away from his rivals and maintained the momentum to the line to take an impressive victory. The team has now provided the individual winner in all three rounds.
Rory Townsend (Pedal Heaven) placed second, with Chris Lawless (JLT-Condor) in third. Townsend also clocked the fastest lap time of 2-32.73 and moved into the lead in the points competition.
Despite Briggs's win, it was Madison-Genesis who took the team victory on the night, closing the gaps between themselves and JLT-Condor.
Round four of the 10-round 2016 Pearl Izumi Tour Series takes place in Redditch on Thursday, May 26. Round five then takes place the following day – Firday, May 27 – in Aberystwyth.
