Lucy Lee sprinted to victory in the Owen Blower Memorial on her Handsling A1R0evo with DAS-Handsling teammate Katie Scott winning the QOM award.
The 66.5 mile Nat B Women's Race was held in perfect sunny conditions on seven laps of the Six Hills circuit near Melton Mowbray.
After a cagey start, a break including Lucy and Katie went clear on the third lap and was joined by several others to form a group of 10 riders. The break worked together to stretch a commanding lead over the bunch before Lucy stepped on the gas to power home in the sprint.
It was a DAS-Handsling double celebration with Katie picking up the Queen of the Mountains award. Lucy's win was her second big victory of the season following her brilliant stage two win at the Peaks 2 Day in March. She now moves up to third in the national road race rankings.
