Britain's Alex Dowsett clocked a super-fast 46 minutes and 58 seconds at the North Hampshire Road Club 25-mile time trial on Saturday, showing he's on great form for the forthcoming World Championships in Australia.

Dowsett joins just a handful of riders to have achieved a sub-47 minute time over 25 miles. Last year David McCann beat Chris Boardman's 1993 British record of 45-57 by timing 45-54 at the Port Talbot Wheelers 25. British champion Michael Hutchinson's 25-mile personal best is 46-01, set at the Hirwaun Wheelers 25 last year.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
