Domestic time trialling’s man of the year, Matt Bottrill (www.drag2zero.com) added the RTTC national 10-mile championship to his 25 and 50-mile titles in a festival of speed on the V718/1 course in East Yorkshire.

Bottrill clocked 17-40, the second-fastest time on record behind Alex Dowsett’s 17-20 from earlier this year and a championship record, to win Sunday afternoon’s event on the South Cave course by just two seconds from former junior champion Ryan Mullen (An Post-Chain Reaction-Sean Kelly).
