With an exceptional field including 4 Olympics gold medalists ex-world champions and national raod race champions as well as a host of local talent this years race was someting special.  The pace set by Wiggins and Tennant was just too much for the rest of the field and the two had a lead of nearly five minutes at one stage.  On the line Tennant took the glory with Wiggins settling for second place.  Wilkinson gave halfords third with the rest of the bunch strung out on the nasty climb to the finish.
