Christian scoops Gran Fondo

Big final for Cyclefest

Cyclefest has culminated with the end of the 85 mile Gran Fondo all-Island headline event.

Mark Christian took first place with a time of 03:52:06, just weeks after placing 7th in the annual Tour De Yorkshire meet.

Second place was Rob Sorby, who drew level with Elliot Baxter on 03:57:56 - but was allowed the technical silver after assisting Baxter over the line at Cyclefest 2016.

Adam Kelly placed fourth, and first overall in the Under 21s category.

The Medio Fondo was finished first earlier by Nigel Beattie, and the Piccola Fondo crown went to 15 year old Daniel Sowerby.

But the real story of the day was Mark Christian's lightning fast hill climb up Injebreck - as told by Sports Editor Tim Glover.
