Garmin-Slipstream rider crushes competition in Botolph Claydon
Bradley Wiggins was crowned the British Time Trial Champion after a dominant performance in the title race at Botolph Claydon in Buckinghamshire on Sunday.
The Garmin Slipstream rider, who spends much of his time racing on the continent, was tipped for a close match-up with domestic ace Michael Hutchinson, the multiple national title and record holder.
But in the end, Wiggins was a clear winner, having covered the three-lap 31.2-mile course for the senior men in 1:02:15, winning by more than two minutes from In Gear-Quickvit RT's Hutchinson.
Rapha Condor all-rounder Chris Newton, an Olympic track rider and successful road man, took third spot, 40 seconds behind Hutchinson.
Initially in line for a place in the top three, I-Ride RT's Matt Bottrill was later disqualified from the event, reportedly for drafting Wiggins as the eventual winner caught him.
