Helen Wyman defended to claim her sixth British title ©Bart Hazen
Helen Wyman (Kona), this year’s queen of the Koppenberg, repeats as the British national champion, taking her record-setting sixth title. Nikki Harris (APB Cycling Team) and Gabby Day (The ChainStay-RENNER), both of whom have had excellent seasons competing against the world’s best, finished in second and third, respectively. That lead trio showed their World Cup experience, distancing the next closest finisher by over three minutes.
In the men’s race, Paul Oldham (Hope Factory Racing) edged out Jody Crawforth (Hargroves Cycles) and MTB Olympian Liam Killeen. 2010 champ Ian Bibby missed the start due to illness.
Ian Field (Hargroves Cycles) led the race for the first couple of laps, and then was joined by Oldham for what looked to be a showdown for the title. Field subsequently crashed, however, ending his hopes for the win. Although he was able to regroup, he would gradually fade back off of the podium to fourth place.
