British Road National Championships 2021 start list: Mark Cavendish, Ethan Hayter and Alice Barnes all down to ride

The British National Championships are finally set to take place in Lincoln for the first time in just over two years.

Ben Swift (Ineos Grenadiers), Alice Barnes (Canyon-SRAM) and Alex Dowsett (Israel Start-Up Nation) have been the road and time trial champions of the nation since 2019, but now they will have to defend their titles.

The races will take place in and around the city of Lincoln between October 14 and 17 with some huge names set to be on the start lines.

Along with all three defending champions returning to try and retain the jerseys former winner Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck - Quick-Step) will be riding.

Chris Froome was initially down to compete, but has instead decided to pull out of the event and end his season in Italy.  

Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) will look to continue his form from the Tour of Britain after a crash at the World Championships saw him drop out of contention. John Archibald (EOLO-Kometa) and Dan Bigham (Ribble-Weldtite) will be strong contenders in the time trial.

In the women's events, Joss Lowden (Drops-Le Col), Hannah Barnes (Canyon-SRAM), Anna Henderson (Jumbo-Visma), Hayley Simmons (CAMS-Basso) and others are all set to ride. 

The time trials see the men and women compete for the elite titles as well as the under-23 jerseys on a 14.7km circuit, with the women taking on two laps (29.4km) and the men tackling three laps (44.7km).

The Criterium/Circuit National Championships is also taking place at the same time with the circuit around the cobbled streets between the cathedral and the castle, taking on one hour plus five laps on floodlit roads.

Finally, the road races take on Lincoln's most famous climb of Michaelgate on a route very similar to the Rapha Lincoln GP, with riders taking on the 12.6km lap eight times for the women's race (101km) and 13 times for the men (166km) - it should be a race of attrition.

The road races and the circuit races will be shown live online with highlights, but with only highlights from the TT available.

Here are the start lists for the 2021 British National Championships road races and time trials.
