Connor Swift (Ineos Grenadiers) and Annabel Fisher (Classified Ridley Factory) won the 2024 British Gravel National Championships, claiming the titles in south-west Scotland.
Connor Swift went into a 10-rider breakaway along with Nathan Haas (Colango Castelli), Matthew Holmes (One Good Thing Orientation Marketing), Jonathan Brownlee, and Ben Swift (Ineos Grenadiers), attacking with Cameron Mason (Cyclocross Reds) and opening up an unassailable gap for 20 kilometres.
On the final climb to Loch Grannoch, Mason could not longer hold Connor Swift's wheel and the British title went to the Ineos Grenadiers rider, who last year took third at the UCI Gravel World Championships and has also previously worn the national jersey on the road.
Toby Perry (Classified Ridley Factory) and Ben Swift caught Mason, sprinting in for second and third, respectively.
Fisher was part of an five-rider attack along with defending champion Xan Crees and Katie Scott (Spectra Racing), Alison Jackson (EF-Oatly-Cannondale), Amelia Mitchell, and Morven Yeoman (Das-Hutchison-Brother).
Fisher and Jackson got away on the climb to Loch Grannon, with the Canadian taking out the sprint but, not eligible for the British title, the red, white and blue stripes went to Fisher.
Mitchell pipped Scott to third overall and second in the British Gravel Championship in a photo finish.
The national title race was initially due to take place at the King's Cup Gravel Festival in September though the event was cancelled – with organisers pointing to Forestry England's "unacceptably high venue fees" as the reason – and Championships shifted to the second stage of the three stage Raiders Gravel event in Scotland.
