Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) defended his elite men’s title in the time trial at the British national championships on Thursday in Dumfries. His winning time of 50:52 across the 44.2km course was 1:14 better than Dan Bigham, who took the silver medal. Finishing another 17 seconds back was James Shaw (EF Education-EasyPost) in third.

“It’s really nice to defend my national title and I’m looking forward to wearing these stripes in Europe. We’ve been pretty lucky with the weather today – perfect weather for a time-trial. Hopefully I’ll win the road race on Sunday, but I’ve got both Bens with me [Tulett and Turner] and they’re both really strong, so we’ll see.”
