Stephen Williams, Pedal Heaven RT, claimed the Welsh Road Race Champion title in the E/1/2/3 event in Llandrindod Wells.

The 2015 Welsh Road Race Championships set off from the centre of Llandrindod Wells on a mild May morning, the racing was hard from the start in the E/1/2/3 event as teh best of Wales' road cyclists battled for the title pushing eachother on the undualting championship course in mid Wales.

With five laps of the 16 mile circuit to be completed, James Lewis, NFTO, made an early attack leading the race into the second lap. However, it was Williams and teammate Gruff Lewis made the winning move breaking away form the peloton, and as the peloton climbed for the final time, Williams attacked and took the solo win and Welsh Champion title.

In the second race of the day, the Welsh Road Race Championships Masters/Juniors/Women it was Cwmcarn Paragon's Richard Harris who was dominant throughout the 3 laps of the 16 mile circuit, and as the rain started to hammer down at the finish line, Harris was rewarded with the Masters C/D title in another solo win, with Courtney Rowe, Cardiff JIF honoured with Masters E+ and Fellow Cardiff JIF rider Janet Rees taking the Senior Women's title.

In the Junior Men's category it was another victory for Cwmcarn Paragon as Alex Touche took the title, with junior rider Megan Chard M&D Cycles/Fusion RT/WORX taking the Junior Women's road title for 2015.

Welsh Cycling would like to thank all event officials, volunteers, competitors and clubs for producing an exciting Championships in 2015.
