Ian Field (Hargroves-Ridley-Montezuma’s) placed fourth in the fifth and penultimate round of the British Cycling National Trophy cyclocross series in Peel Park, Bradford on Sunday to seal the overall elite men's victory.
Field placed fourth in snowy conditions behind round winner Braam Merlier (Steylaerts-Betfirst). Grant Ferguson (CST American Eagle) came in for second, with Lewis Craven (Wheelbase Altura MGD) third.
Field did enough to ensure that his lead is now unsurpassable with one round remaining.
The elite women's title is still yet to be sealed, with Ffion James (Abergavenny RC) winning the Bradford round ahead of Bethany Crumpton (Storey Racing) and Amira Mellor (PH-MAS Paul Milnes Cycles).
Crumpton currently leads the elite women's standings.

The under-23 men's category was topped by Calum Fernie (Nottingham Clarion CC), with Ffion James (Abergavenny RC) taking the under-23 women's win as well as the elite women's.
