ROWSELL RALLIES TO HOLD 15TH AT TOUR OF BRITAIN

DOUBLE HEADER STAGE TESTS RESOLVE

Following a day in the break and a brutal summit finish, Erick Rowsell produced a resilient performance on a day that presented a double risk at the 2016 Tour of Britain.

Following a day in the break and a brutal summit finish, Erick Rowsell produced a resilient performance on a day that presented a double risk at the 2016 Tour of Britain.

Stage seven hosted by Bristol saw two events on the same course. First, a 15-kilometre time trial was sure to produce time gaps – Rowsell limiting the damage and holding on to the 14th place on general classification which he held overnight.

However, it was a tantalising lead with which he went into the circuit race – just one second separated Rowsell from Tao Geoghegan-Hart (Great Britain Cycling Team).

By his own admission, Madison Genesis’ leading man went into the penultimate test fatigued from the efforts of a heroic two days and when a volley of attacks went on the final ramp ahead of the finish, the limit was reached.

Ten seconds was the deficit – but after seven days of competition across Scotland, England and Wales – Rowsell holds 15th place with only 99-kilometres of racing around London remaining.
