Philip Graves broke his second course record of the weekend when he stormed to victory in the Yorkshire Road Club hilly 10-mile time trial on the V810 course near Addingham in West Yorkshire on Sunday.

The 27-year-old clocked 23.39 to take victory in the event by 13 seconds from Dan Evans (Team Elite Paul Bethall), while Ali Wareham (SSLL Racing Team) completed the podium in third spot, another 19 seconds adrift.

Graves, the Clifton CC rider from York, had broken the course record for the V262 near Ripon the previous day as he powered to a win in the Harrogate Nova CC 24-mile event.

First veteran in the Yorkshire RC event was Blair Buss (SSLL Racing Team), the 51-year-old who took fifth spot with a time of 26.24, while fastest female was Rachael Mellor (Holmfirth CC) with 29.59, which was good enough to win the women’s category by just six seconds from Karen Taylor (East Bradford CC).

The victory was Graves’ sixth consecutive win and shows he is really coming in to form at the right time as the 2016 season gets into full swing.
