Colver retains leader's jersey

A NEWLY created D'uphill course hosted stage three of the Cycleworld Tour of Guernsey last night.

The challenging stage comprised a combined hill climb and downhill race on a wet, technical course at Petit Bot.

With most of the Island Games riders missing due to the reception being held in their honour, the senior general classification saw some changes, although Andy Colver (pictured) retained the leader's jersey by completing his timed run in the practice session before heading off to the reception.

Colver's time of 4min. 8sec. proved unbeatable, although Alex Wilson gave it his best shot to finish in 4-17 and James Harrison, using his technical skills in the tricky downhill section, took third place with a time of 4-24.
