The first day of the tour was the Tattenhoe 11k, over three laps, run in sweltering conditions, with the temperature rising rapidly through the morning. Tom Comerford took an early lead from Genci Pepaj and never relinquished it. Abby Roskilly led the women’s race early on but was overtaken on the second lap by Jennifer Sangster and then by Katie Niamh on the third lap.
