British National Road Race Champions: roll of honour

gerant thomas, british national champion, jersey, helmet, tour de france 2010

Cycling Weekly presents a comprehensive list of all those men, women and juniors who have won the national title.

Ian Stannard's victory in the 2012 championships in Yorkshire means Team Sky are currently unbeaten in the championships since their inception in 2010, while Sharon Laws won days after finding out she had not been selected to ride the Olympic Games in London.

NOTE: Our listings start in 1959, when the British League of Racing Cyclists (BLRC) and the National Cyclists' Union (NCU) merged to create the BCF.
