IN A week where Great Britain rider Mark Cavendish had been dominating the sprint stages of the Giro d'Italia, Stuart Le Tissier showed similar dominance in the Guernsey Velo Club's criterium at Delancey Park strengthening his position as the island's top crit rider.

Le Tissier outsprinted Matt Osborn to take the win. The two riders had been out on a break for most of the race and proved too strong for the chasing group of 13 riders whom they held off to take a one-two.

Veteran Nick Mann claimed third place with another well timed break on the final lap with Josh Gosselin taking the bunch sprint for fourth from Tony Bleasdale, Dan Arblaster, Callum Hill-Smith, James McLaughlin, Jamie Burtenshaw, Gary Robert, Leon Ogier, Paul Brehaut, Ben Walden, Philip Touzeau and Rob Smart.
