MR PORTER London Nocturne
The 2016 London Nocturne take place on an exciting new circuit in the heart of the City. The course is bigger with more space for riders, spectators and attractions to help us make the Nocturne better than ever.
Chris Lawless won the 10th anniversary MR PORTER London Nocturne, making that two consecutive wins for JLT Condor. Lawless and Team Wiggins rider, Owain Doull, were playing cat and mouse throughout the MR PORTER Elite Criterium, but the Wiggins rider was pipped on the finish straight in front of the electric crowd.
Lawless, who raced aggressively throughout, set the fastest lap of the day on the new 1.5km Nocturne course in the shadow of St Pauls.
Alice Barnes, continuing on the Barnes legacy, won the JLT Elite
Women’s Criterium in extremely convincing fashion, leading the pack from the 6th lap, over one minute ahead of National Champion, Nicola Juniper and Claire Rose.
London fans were treated to 9 races across the day. The Santander Cycle Hire Race saw competitors running the last 300m of the course after docking the hire bike on the finish straight.
Alec Briggs, an up-and-coming cat 2 rider displayed his power in the Mango Bikes Criterium. Briggs won the overall race and took the 1st lap prime, sponsored by Red Hook Criterium.
Royal Marine, Aled Jones won the PedalSure Folding Bike Race even after a few nasty falls. He was joined by PedalSure ambassador and pro rider, Andy Tennant.
A special addition to the race programme involving obstacles like taxis and phone zombies, went down a storm with the crowd. The Concours d’Elegance was successful in its aim of promoting considerate cycling.
