Story posted August 6, thanks to David Reed: Victor Berlemont Trophy ()In apalling weather conditions, victory in the Victor Berlemont Trophy race went to the good doctor, Alex Higham, who beat James Stuart and Joe Skipper. The first three in the race escaped their rivals quite early on in the race and were helped by an unfortunate incident that involved Dave Clarke (Pendragon-Le Col-Colnago) who fell and taken to hospital. The pace of the race and the conditions certainly took their toll and there were only 37 finishers from the 80 that started.

After all the rain, the sun shines on the winner, Alex Higham.

Joe Skipper leads the break.

The rain falls out of the sky on the riders in a race where punctures and crashes added to the drama.
