IG London Nocturne 2013 Vimeo still (Century Films)IG London Nocturne: Results from high octane crits + VIDEO
Night time criterium racing hit the streets of London once more as crowds turned out to watch a start studded field at the 2013 IG London Nocturne.
Highlights from the IG London Nocturne will be shown on Channel 4 on Sunday 16th June at 08:00 - so if you want to savour the excitement, here's a non-spoiler video. If you don't want to know the results, don't read below it!
The London Nocturne 2013 - Teaser / No Spoilers from Mat Pennell on Vimeo.
History was made as Laura Trott scored the first home soil victory for her team Wiggle Honda Pro Cycling, and told the BBC she was 'super excited' at taking a photo finish victory from Hannah Barnes. Dani King finished third, providing another podium spot for Wiggle Honda.
The men's race saw an extremely tense photo finish too - between Tom Scully (Team Raleigh), Dean Downing (Madison Genesis - who suffered a flat and finished on a rim) and 2011 winner, Alex Dowsett (Movistar Team), with Scully winning by a whisker. Downing came third to Dowsett's second.
During the Nocturne the streets around Smithfield Market are closed off and elite riders battle it out in the gloom around the atmospheric streets.
It's not just pro riders though - there are also family friendly events including the Folding Bike Race, the Penny Farthing Race and the 'Longest Skid' competition.
The results from those events will be published tomorrow morning, so check back for an update as to the victorious winners.

That's one from Mrs VeloPeo - drop me a mail through my profile if you want the high-res version
Same goes for anyone else we shot....
Nice photos VeloPeo.
The one of me in my Keith Haring art-inspired jacket for the Folding Bike race looks great
Great day - made an arse of myself in the UrbanCyclocross and spent the day inside the track with Mrs VeloPeo taking photos

Had another really good night there. Not sure about cowbells in red though...
Absolutely brilliant night - both of the elite races were so fast and full of attacks, amazing action! Not to mention the 'fun' races earlier in the evening that seemed to be being taken pretty damn seriously by all involved
Few of my photos from the night here if you fancy:
