At the competitive TLI Road Race Series event at Serlby, Xavier Scott and Aaron Chambers-Smith were keen to match the previous evening’s success.
In a race filled with attacking riding, Chambers-Smith maintained a cool head and, with the aid of Scott’s peloton management, timed his attack to perfection.
The uphill sprint finish saw the youngster launch his trademark sprint, racing clear of the charging bunch, and claiming the victory by a clear margin.
