LAURA Trott stole the show at the Matrix Fitness Grand Prix Series in Redditch with an impressive victory on Tuesday night.

The double Olympic champion out sprinted fellow Team GB rider Dani King to win the opening round in some style.

The win wasn't enough to give Trott's Matrix Fitness team the Series lead however, as third placed Nikki Juniper led a young Team Giordana Triton to the Team win and Series lead, plus the Sprints jersey from the opening round.

Redditch's very own mountainbike star Beth Crumpton made her debut in the event and finished a creditable 30th place.

Jon Mould won the latest round of the Pearl Izumi Tour Series after he pulled off a last gasp victory over Morgan Kneisky, who was celebrating his win too early when coming around the final turn.

The event was a case of a slow whittling down of the main field, with a fast pace and repeated ascents of Hill reducing the main field, until all but Madison Genesis and Pedal Heaven has lost riders.

This left that pairing to contest the team win, with Madison Genesis' Mike Northey among a quintet that separated themselves from the leading pack on the final lap, helping to earn his team just enough of an advantage for the win, and the Series lead.

Consolation for Pedal Heaven was their first ever Pearl Izumi Tour Series runners-up spot, coming just five days after they'd scored their best ever result of third in the Team Time Trial at Ryde.

Madison Genesis' Tom Stewart retained the lead of the Chain Reaction Cycles Points Jersey on countback, after Morgan Kneisky drew level by taking out all three of the mid-race sprints in an aggressive display which also earned him the Costa Express Fastest Lap.

That though will be little comfort for the three-time World Track Champion, after his final lap error left him ruing the opportunity to take his first Pearl Izumi Tour Series win.

Victory in Redditch, Mould's fifth individual win in the Series moves him level with Dean Downing and just one behind Ed Clancy, the most successful rider in terms of individual victories in the Pearl Izumi Tour Series. Remarkably Mould's wins have come from just 18 events since his first win at Colchester in 2013.

Highlights from Redditch will be shown on ITV4 at 2000 on Wednesday 20 May, with a repeat at 1305 on Thursday 21 May.
