The Blackburn Grand Prix lived up to its reputation with exciting, fast paced racing over a narrow and tricky surface.

Elite rider Ian Taylor and 2nd Category rider Stephen Leigh were TeamBglobal’s representatives on Wednesday evening. The windy circuit was sure to prove difficult to handle and the addition of rain to the surface only complicated matters.

Racing through the town centre, the multi-lap race caused a number of riders to fall and even TeamBglobal’s own Stephen Leigh was forced to retire from the race due to a damaged bike caused by another competitor falling in front of him.

Only a fraction of the starters completed the race due to its treacherous nature, with Ian Taylor coming in 24th place. The race was won by Ed Clancy of the Motorpoint Marshalls Pasta team.
