Route

Conisbrough Castle, was one of the three categorised climbs the riders would face.

Starting in Otley, the race headed east towards Harewood, where the women would tackle the first categorised climb of the day – the 1.2 km Côte de Harwood averaging 5% in gradient. The race would continue east, heading through East Keswick taking on the second classified climb of the day – the Côte de East Rigton. The second climb was slightly shorter, at 0.8 km, but boasted a steeper average gradient of 8.2%. The race now headed south, to the intermediate sprint point in Scholes. After the sprint point, the route would take the riders south east, to Sherburn-in-Elmet, then south to Knottingley. After passing through Pontefract the route headed south through Wentbridge, South Elmsall and Hooton Pagnell. After skirting round the westerly side of Doncaster the riders would go through the second intermediate sprint point at Warmsworth and would almost immediately tackle the final and shortest classified climb of the day, the 0.5 km 6.5% Côte de Conisbrough Castle. The final stages of the race saw the route pass through Tickhill and Bawtry before heading north to finish line in Doncaster.[3]

Towards the second half of the race the sprinters teams came to the fore and began to eat into the lead carved out by Schweizer. With a trimmed lead of only 25 seconds at the summit of Conisbrough Castle, Schweizer was caught by world road race champion Lizzie Armitstead and Canadian rider Leah Kirchmann with around 36 km to go.[5] The trio now joined forced and forged their lead out to over a one minute with 15 km remaining in the race.

With 10 km to go the lead stood at 45 seconds,[6] but the trio were caught with less than 5 km to go, resulting in Wild opening the bunch sprint with 150 m to go,[6] taking the win by a bike length from Garner.[5][4]

Aftermath

The race was notable for a number of reasons other than it being a new Women's race in Great Britain. The race boasted a significant prize fund of £50,000, with the victor taking home £15,000. At 136.5 kilometres (84.8 mi) the race is longer than six one day races which comprise the UCI Women's WorldTour, as well as being close to the maximum limit of 140 kilometres (87 mi) for Women's races.[7]

The race should have been broadcast live on both Eurosport and ITV4, however technical issues with the relay aeroplane meant there were little, to no, live pictures.[7]
