EDINBURGH NOCTURNE 2010
Former National Road Race Champion, Kristian House (Rapha Condor Sharp) honoured his pledge to go after a victory in the Edinburgh Nocturne with a fine solo victory after what had been a very attacking and exciting race. House, joined Scottish rider Evan Oliphant (Endura Racing) who had been out front on his own for a quite a few laps and the two briefly held the chase group at bay which was led by Dave Clarke (Pendragon-Le Col-Colnago).
The two leaders however were eventually caught and House, who was awesome according to his teammate Dean Downing, didn't hang around waiting for another move to happen and he kicked again and this time the chase proved too much for his rivals on this 'crazy hard course' (so says Dean Downing) and House held on to win the race alone from Aussie World Track Champion Cameron Meyer (Garmin-Transitions) and Scotland's Evan Oliphant (Endura Racing).
