Team Raleigh’s Lachlan Norris put on a climbing masterclass on Sunday, storming to victory in four of the five categorised climbs in the final stage of the Circuit des Ardennes.
Lachlan Norris – King of the Mountains jersey winner at the Circuit des Ardennes
Lachlan, who capped off 2012 with a victory in the hilly Tour of Tasmania, took the King of the Mountains jersey in stage four of the three day race. The cross-discipline rider had set himself up for victory with some strong riding in Saturday’s stage two race, a tough test with four category one climbs.
The race also saw the debut of Team Raleigh’s sleek new time trial bikes for Sunday’s team time trial stage. Good news if you want one; Raleigh’s 2014 range is set to include two time trial bikes, including one model similarly specc’ed to the official Team Raleigh machine.
Following this weekend’s action, Team Raleigh remain in France for the Paris-Camonbert and the Tro-Bro Leon.
