Morgan himself saw his race end slightly early after the peloton was pulled out because of the gap between them and the leading riders.
The Chorley star’s team-mate Steve Lampier did manage to keep his place in the leading group, which enabled him to claim the spring Cup title for the overall series. Lampier finished in 16th place as only 27 riders crossed the line.
Raleigh did lose their overall team lead to One Pro Cycling who saw Yanto Barker finish second in Wiltshire.
