We saw a cold and gloomy start to the day in Worcester but we were lucky enough for the rain to stay away. Racing kicked off with a neutral zone through the industrial area of the town before crossing the N1, where racing got under way.
125km of cut and thrust racing saw a break away forming which was eventually whittled down to 2 men. A sprint to the finish saw David Garrett take the Category 1 honours on the line.
The wind played its part as it usually does in Worcester but we saw a sole breakaway in category 2 where Matthew Kieser raced to the take line honours.
Category 3 was a bunch finish with Delano Rasmus managing to get over the line slightly ahead of the rest.
Here’s the final results of today’s racing. Please report any errors or omissions to results@wpcycling.capedjco.co.za. Note that the neutral zone was included in your race duration time.
