Endura Racing top the latest UCI Europe Tour team rankings after another successful month in UCI races across Europe. The team have now recorded a total of nine stage and overall victories in single day and stage races so far this season.

Another great month for Jon Tiernan-Locke, with a second place overall at the Vuelta Ciclista a Murcia (UCI 2.1), sees him retain leadership in the rider classification and he will continue to ride in the white jersey of the UCI Europe Tour leader for April.

Russ Downing opened his account for the season with a win at the Eddie Soens Memorial in the UK before heading to France to win the Grand Prix de la Ville de Lillers (UCI 1.2) the following day. Ian Wilkinson and Erick Rowsell added to the win tally with stage victories in the Tour of Normandie (UCI 2.2) with Erick again going close with second place on stage seven and Jonny McEvoy only losing out in the event’s final sprint by the narrowest of margins. In his first season as a professional, Erick finished in seventh position in the overall results. Paul Voß recorded four top ten finishes at the Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali (UCI 2.1), including a second place in team time trial to finish seventh overall.

Brian Smith, General Manager of Endura said: “It's great to see all the team's hard work paying off. Jon Tiernan-Locke is a very talented bike rider but it also shows that the whole team has strength in depth. We will continue to perform to the best we can and hopefully attract that partner to allow the team to take the step up to Continental Pro in 2013.”
