Showing experience beyond her years, Millie Couzens timed her sprint to perfection from a leading group to win the women’s Ryedale Grand Prix. The 19-year-old has spent most of her season in Europe with the FenixDeceuninck team and showed her talent to win a first National Series event.
Coming up against large domestic teams, lone rider Couzens rode cleverly to make a winning group of 10 riders which went clear in the closing stages.
Couzens followed the experienced Mary Wilkinson coming into the finish at Ampleforth Abbey before launching her sprint, with Tiffany Keep taking second and Wilkinson third.
“I didn’t know what to expect coming into this so I’m happy,” said Couzens.
