First three in the Elite Men’s Thomas (2nd), Wiggins and Dowsett (3rd)

Sir Bradley Wiggins, not selected for the Tour de France by his team, produced a sensational performance to add the British title to his Olympic one and the World’s Silver medal.

The 34-year-old Tour de France winner completed the 26-mile hilly course in 53:56, over a minute clear of teammate Geraint Thomas. Defending champion Alex Dowsett of Movistar finished third.

Wiggins was the clear leader after lap one of the 13-mile circuit, his time of 26:29 over a minute faster than Dowsett and 30 seconds clear of Welshman Thomas. The 2012 Olympic champion maintained the gap on lap two to win his third British time trial title.

Speaking afterwards, Sir Bradley Wiggins said: “This is probably my last British time trial championship so to win it and perhaps never come back again is a nice way to end it and add it to the Olympic title and try and win the worlds at the end of the year.”

Geraint Thomas TT

Great ride by home rider Geraint Thomas from Cardiff in Wales.

Like so many riders (Cavendish etc) Alex Dowsett came out of the Tour de Suisse unwell but still did better than he expected to finish on the podium.

On a diet of eight hours a week, compared to the world tour racing from Wiggins and co, the rider capable of 46 minutes 25’s was 6th on a course very unsuited to him.

Women’s Champs
Emma Pooley took the womens title by an impressive margin from Katie Archibald and Paralympian Dame Sarah Storey (both Pearl Izumi Sports Tours International). It was the 31-year-olds third victory in the competition after wins in 2009 and 2010.

Pooley, who won the world time trial title in 2010, revelled in the hilly conditions on the Monmouthshire course. Pooley came through with a blistering time of 30:18, with world team pursuit champion Katie Archibald coming the closest to her with a 31:22 ride. With only a few riders to go, including Wiggle Honda’s defending champion, Joanna Rowsell, Dame Sarah Storey posted a time of 31:09 and completed the eventual podium.

Speaking after the race, Emma Pooley said “It’s been quite a few years since I’ve ridden the national championships so actually I think every time I’ve ridden it, I’ve won it! It’s really special because it’s quite a while since I’ve won a race. I try to not think about the other riders in a time-trial. I can’t affect how they ride and all you can do is do your best and if someone’s quicker, then good on them.

“I think Katie Archibald did an awesome ride. I’m really impressed – she’s quite a talent.”

Under 23 Men’s
Madison Genesis’ Scott Davies took the under-23 men’s title, recording a stunning time of 27: 45 to take the national champion’s jersey by a margin of over 20 seconds.

Welshman Owain Doull (An Post), Davies’ Great Britain teammate, was the only rider who could get near him on the tough 13-mile course but couldn’t match the performance of the 18-year-old sensation who will make his Commonwealth Games debut in Glasgow in July.

Commenting after the race, a delighted Scott Davies said “It hasn’t quite sunk in yet but I’m over the moon. I knew I had a chance but I didn’t expect to get the better of Owain (Doull). I think going into it, I considered him the favourite. He had the form and I know he’s a good time-triallist. I think to win it from such strong competition means a lot to me.”

Dan McLay of Lotto-Belisol U23 posted a 28:44 to take the bronze medal.

Emma Pooley just after the bridge and a great victory  – she said afterwards to everyone who though she’d retired – she hasn’t! Big goal is Glasgow Games.

Another great ride this time from Sarah Storey who showed she’s up there with the best in the world.
