British Cycling National Track Championships 2018 Championship Round Up

T hree Gold’s for Scotland’s Katie Archibald retaining her titles from 2017 in the Individual Pursuit, the Scratch Race and the Points Race.
Archibald’s Point’s race mirrored her brother John’s win on day two when the decisive move came mid race. Both John and Katie had reached a half-lap advantage before stalling midway across for a while. But with the encouragement of the crowd, dug deep and pulled off the victory, Johns first National Title.

Keirin, HSBC-UK British Cycling National Track Championships 2018, Day 1

Lewis Oliva was the only other rider to retain their title in the Keirin, with the exception of Sophie Thornhill MBE who retained her BVI Mixed 1000m Para-cycling title, this year with Helen Scott MBE as her pilot.

Women’s Sprint, HSBC-UK British Cycling National Track Championships 2018, Day 1

Katy Marchant’s return to Sprint competition brought her Gold in the 500m Time Trial and the Sprint competitions. Jack Carlin won the men’s Sprint whilst Joe Truman took the Kilo Gold.

The Team Sprint men’s race saw the return of multi-gold winning Olympian Jason Kenny, along with last year riders, Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens and Joe Truman retaining their title for North West Region-A team. The women’s race also went to the North West Region-A team’s Lauren Bate and Georgia Hilleard.

The Team Pursuit finished in disaster for defending champions Team KGF as a puncture mid-race disrupted their plan with Team 100% ME’s Rhys Britton, Matt Walls, Ethan Hayter and Fred Wright claiming Gold. Team Breeze retained their title in a different guise with newcomers Abi Dentus, Rebecca Raybould, Jess Roberts and Jenny Holl.

A return to competition for Jon-Allan Butterworth in the C1-5 Para-cycling Time Trial saw him claiming the Gold whilst Blain Hunt took Gold in the 200m Flying Start Time Trial.

Scotland’s Kyle Gordon, RT 23 went better in the later stages of the first batch and set a 4.24.306 ahead of the bigger names following after the Women’s Sprint round one.

In the final round of the Individual 4000m IP heats, Harry Tanfield, Team KGF upped the game setting a fast 4.19.660, before Scotland’s Mark Stewart slipped ahead with a 4.19.491. Fellow Countryman John Archibald took the lead again for Team KGF with a 4.19.374 before Charlie Tanfield sliced another 4 seconds off for Team KGF. Defending champion, also from Team KGF Dan Bigham was last to go and couldn’t match Charlie’s time finishing second with a 4.17.269.
