Women’s standings

Individual

Overall

Natalie Grinczer’s (CAMS-Basso Bikes) consistent showing has given her the series lead, after finishing 5th at the Women’s CiCLE Classic and 9th at Ryedale. Her teammate Illi Gardner is second after winning Ryedale, equal on points with Women’s CiCLE Classic winner Abi Smith (Team Breeze) and Corinne Side (Pro-Noctis – Redchilli Bikes -Heidi Kjeldsen). It’s all very close though, with a number of riders capable of taking the overall series win in the final round at the Curlew Cup in September.

Team

With three riders in the top ten at both Lancaster and Ryedale, Canyon dhb SunGod lead the team standings. Elite team Crimson Orientation Marketing RT once again proved their strength at Ryedale and now sit comfortably in second. It’s a shame we won’t get to see them at the Tour of Britain, with the form and talent their young squad have.

SwiftCarbon Pro Cycling move up to third after Peters’ win and a strong team performance and minnows Wheelbase CabTech Castelli are in 4th thanks to Finn Crockett. Once again, the table is dominated by the elite teams, with TRINITY, Saint Piran and Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling well down the standings.
