Zefal Bailey got the third place in 2 hours 36 minutes 50 seconds.

Antrobus, following the race, jokingly remarked that he had received a telephone call from Mark Cavendish, who gave him some race strategy. He was making reference to one of the top British cyclists.

The race saw the cyclists pedalling off from Howards Marine on Villa Flat, circuiting the Arnos Vale Roundabout to Ratho Mill route 10 times.
