Tom Stewart (Madison-Genesis) and Alice Barnes (Drops Cycling) were crowned 2016 Lincoln Grand Prix winners on Sunday.
Stewart just pipped four-time Lincoln GP winner Russell Downing (JLT Condor) to the line after the pair had been in the day's escape group.
Ian Bibby (NFTO) completed the podium in third place.
The men's Lincoln GP was the final round of the British Cycling Spring Cup, which was won overall by Adria Moreno Sala (Raleigh GAC).

Barnes emerged victorious after attacking from an eight-rider lead group on the final steep climb of Michaelgate. Her team's success was then bolstered as Rebecca Durrell and Laura Massey came home for second and third.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
