On a windswept day above Derwent Reservoir, Kate Richardson and Handsling Alba Development Road Team turned strength in numbers into victory in the women’s Tour of the Reservoir, before Foran CT’s Danylo Riwnyj delivered a 14-kilometre solo attack to win the open race as the weather worsened across the moor., Sunday 7 June
The Tour of the Reservoir returns to the moorland above Derwent Reservoir this Sunday on a revised, more compact course but the same old North Pennines jeopardy: exposed roads, restless winds, repeated climbs and two National Road Series races that could splinter long before they reach Front Street.
The Tour of the Reservoir becomes the first National Road Series round confirmed for 2026 — returning to Consett High Street on an earlier June date as organisers build on the momentum of its revived 2025 edition.
Robyn Clay (DAS-Hutchinson) and Adam Howell (Muc-Off-SRCT-Storck) won the first editions of the Tour of the Reservoir in six years (Sunday 22 June)
