Prior to the men's race, the first ever women's Lincoln GP took place and was dominated by the Drops Cycling team, whose riders filled all three podium positions.
Barnes emerged victorious after attacking from an eight-rider lead group on the final steep climb of Michaelgate. Her team's success was then bolstered as Rebecca Durrell and Laura Massey came home for second and third.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
