In the women's race it was
Zoe Bäckstedt who managed to take the triumph, an impressive one taking into consideration her 20years of age. She beat Anna Henderson - 7th at last year's World Championships. “I'm super happy. I think it was a little bit unexpected, I was up against Anna Henderson who’s the reigning national champion, so I think I would've just been happy with a podium finish".
"This event, it's not quite home, but it's still home - it's still Wales. It's super nice to be here. There were a lot of people cheering me on. Some marshals on the course at the start shouted my name, and I'm like, I've not even started, and they're already cheering me on, I really love that feeling.” Over the weekend we will have the road races where the duo will be amongst the main contenders to take more wins.
