Cycling Delancey Criterium
A chasing group of 13 couldn't catch Le Tissier and Osborn

Stuart Le Tissier outsprinted Matt Osborn to win the Guernsey Velo Club's Criterium at Delancey Park on Thursday.

The two riders had been out on a solo break for the majority of the race and proved too strong for the chasing group of 13 riders.

Veteran Nick Mann took third place with a well timed break on the final lap.

Josh Gosselin was first home in the bunch sprint for fourth place followed by Tony Bleasdale, Dan Arblaster,

Callum Hill-Smith and James McLaughlin.

They were followed by Jamie Burtenshaw, Gary Robert, Leon Ogier, Paul Brehaut, Ben Walden, Philip Touzeau and Rob Smart.

In the Under 16s race, over 10 laps, Alex Falla broke away early following a frantic start leaving the riders strung out.

Alex Wilson worked well and over the course of three laps regained contact with Falla.

Michael Mann followed the two leader's slightly further back with Juliette Setters and Will Falla slightly further back.

Alex Falla continued to stay on the front until the last lap when Wilson overtook Falla. As the riders rounded the final corner they were neck and neck.

In the final few metres Falla managed to get ahead of Wilson to take the sprint. Michael Mann finished third followed by Juliette Setters and Will Falla.
