Hayley Simmonds (Team WNT Pro Cycling) and Dan Bigham (Brother NRG Wattshop) were crowned British National 10-mile time trial champions on Sunday, September 3, in Cumbria.
Both riders went into the competition as the favourites for the senior titles, with Simmonds claiming her fourth consecutive National 10 title and Bigham continuing his successful 2017 season with his fifth championship title of the year.
Wind and rain greeted the riders on the A66 Cockermouth course, but that didn't seem to affect the rider's times as Bigham clocked 19 minutes and one second to win with an average speed of 31.551mph.

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, n exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
