Daniel Bigham, National 25-mile time trial 2017
Daniel Bigham and Hayley Simmonds won the senior titles in the 2017 National 25-Mile Time Trial Championships, held in the Vale of Neath, South Wales, over the weekend (August 5-6).
Windy conditions on the out-and-back course made it tricky for riders to gauge their effort, but Simmonds (WNT Pro Cycling) made no mistakes to clinch her third title in the event on Saturday.
Simmonds posted a time of 50-10 to beat second-placed Rachael Elliott (Drag2Zero) by one minute and 33 seconds on the R25/3h course. Anna Turvey (Tyneside Vagabonds CC) completed the podium in third, two seconds further adrift of Simmonds.

Ryan Perry (Team Raleigh GAC) clocked 46-11 to finish in third spot. The team award went to Bottrill-HSS Hire, whose Matthew Smith, Stuart Travis and John Dewey finished in sixth, seventh and ninth respectively.
