The second round of Manx Vikings Wheelers’ Summer Series moved to a closed road circuit around the roads of Jurby last week.  

After a tough chase, the scratch group just failed to catch the first two groups on the road. 

The eventual winner came from the second group, with Sophie Smith, Ruby Oakes, Tom Broadbent, Dom Dunwell and Harry Snape working hard at the front of the race.  

A late attempt to stay away on the last lap by Dunwell, Snape and Broadbent just fell short as they were reeled in. 

It was Cameron Hounsell who, after launching a sprint 250 metres from the line, took the win from Dan Minay in second. The first woman home was Oakes.
