LATEST NEWS: 

Mark Cavendish not racing in British Championships

Omega Pharma – Quick-Step have sent a press release to say Mark Cavendish will not take the start at the British National Road Championship on Sunday. The current British Champion is busy with a bout of bronchitis that began during the last stages of the Tour de Suisse. As a precautional measure, Mark will not participate on Sunday and will continue training in Italy prior to the Tour de France.

“I’m sad because, as current champion, I would really like to defend the title,” Cavendish said. “I would have liked to honor the race and this jersey that I wore for all of 2014 so far, which allowed me to represent my country proudly. I think it’s wiser, however, to not take any risks and focus on absolute, 100 percent recovery, and continue to train in function of the Tour de France. I talked with the race organizers and they understood my situation perfectly. I wish them well, and also wish good luck to all riders at the race on Sunday trying to fight for this jersey I’ve been so proud to wear.”

EVENT PRESS RELEASE
A world-class field, including Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish, Lizzie Armitstead and Laura Trott, will compete at the British Road Championships in Monmouthshire organised by Bill Owen and supported by Monmouthshire Council.

The men’s and women’s time-trials take place on Thursday 26 June, ahead of the road races on Sunday 29 June.

In the men’s road race, former world champion and multiple Tour de France stage winner Mark Cavendish will defend the title he won in Glasgow last year. The ‘Manx Missile’ will be up against a strong field which includes Team Sky’s Tour de France winner, Bradley Wiggins, Olympic team pursuit champions, Peter Kennaugh and Wales’ own Geraint Thomas, as well as talented young riders Adam and Simon Yates (both Orica-GreenEDGE).

Leading the challenge from the British domestic teams will be former road race bronze medallist Yanto Barker (Team Raleigh), in-form Tom Moses and Kristian House, winner of the championships in 2009 when it was last held in Abergavenny (both Rapha Condor JLT).

Moses will also be in contention for the under-23 men’s title, alongside Welshman Owain Doull (An Post – Chain Reaction) and Tao Geoghegan Hart (Bissell Development Team).

In the women’s road race, defending champion Lizzie Armitstead (Boels Dolmans Cycling Team) (above) will be looking for her third national title.

She will face competition from former double junior world road champion, Lucy Garner (Giant Shimano), who finished seventh in the recent Friends Life Women’s Tour, as well as double Olympic gold medallist on the track, Laura Trott (Wiggle Honda) and current British Cycling National Circuit Race Champion, Hannah Barnes (Unitedhealthcare).

Barnes and Garner will also start as favourites for the under-23 women’s title.

Dowsett will also have to beat off challenges from the likes of David Millar (Garmin Sharp), Geraint Thomas and 2013 silver medallist Matt Bottrill (www.drag2zero.com) if he is to retain the red, white and blue jersey he has made his own for the past three years.

Olympic and world team pursuit champion, Joanna Rowsell will be in Monmouthshire to defend the time trial title she won in East Ayrshire in 2013. She’ll be up against last year’s silver medallist, Lizzie Armitstead her team pursuit teammate on the track, Katie Archibald, as well as multiple Paralympic champion Dame Sarah Storey (both Pearl Izumi Sports Tours International).
