Solo break pushes Matthew to close finish at Preston Park

In a nervy race that saw a dramatic crash in the final laps, Redhill CC's Matthew Ferguson - riding in his first race as a Cat 3 rider - launched a stunning solo attack with less than four laps to go and so nearly held on for the win until he was caught by a furiously chasing peloton just yards from the line. His incredible ride still helped him claim a place in the top ten.
