VICTORIES FOR SWIFT AND GEORGI ON THE FINAL DAY IN LINCOLN<\/p>\n
Reigning national champion Ben Swift retained his national road race title on the final day of the 2021 HSBC UK | National Road Championships in Lincoln, following Pfeiffer Georgi\u2019s victory in the women\u2019s race earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

The Team Ineos Grenadiers rider fought hard all day in numerous breakaway groups to secure another year in the famous red, white and blue jersey, having first won the crown in Norwich in 2019.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
First Over the Line for Ben Swift<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Speaking post-race, Swift said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really looking forward to the race, I\u2019ve enjoyed my time for sure in this jersey. It gives you that extra motivation for sure, it was something that I really wanted to keep and luckily, I\u2019ve got for another eight months in it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pfeiffer Georgi stormed to victory in the elite women\u2019s race earlier in the day, coming from a strong 12-rider group that went clear on the first ascent of the Michaelgate climb.<\/p>\n
The young rider also won the under-23 championship at the same time as she defeated a crop of experienced riders to take home the jersey. After the race a shocked Georgi said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI honestly can\u2019t believe it. I was just crossing the line shaking my head. Just realising that I get to wear the [national champions] jersey for a year, that was pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delayed start, but Peloton exiting Burton all together for the first of eight laps…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Elite and under-23 women\u2019s race<\/pre>\n
There was a delayed start to the women\u2019s race to ensure everything was in order on the 12.6km circuit of Lincoln; a morning of persistent rain meant the riders were taking corners very tentatively in the opening kilometres.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 2 and an established lead group of around a dozen riders already formed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
After one lap, the peloton would arrive together as one into the first ascent of the Michaelgate climb. On the front, recent hour record breaker, Joss Lowden (Drops-Le Col s\/b Tempur), side-by-side with Anna Henderson (Team Jumbo-Visma).<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 2 and the second group are behind the leaders…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Lowden, alongside three teammates (Dani Christmas, April Tacey and Anna Christian), decided that first time around was the right moment to set a tough pace up the climb with the aim of creating a select group, and they succeeded.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 3 with April Tacey (L) & Jos Lowden (R)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
At the top of the cobbled climb with one lap complete a total of 12 riders would go clear never to be caught again, eight riders alongside the four riders from Drops-Le Col; Alice Barnes (CANYON \u2013 SRAM RACING), Pfeiffer Georgi (Team DSM), Anna Henderson (Team Jumbo-Visma), Josie Nelson (Team Coop-Hitec Products), Anna Shackley (Team SD Worx), Danielle Shrosbree (Team LDN – Brother UK), Jo Tindley (Pro-Noctis – Redchilli Bikes – Heidi Kjeldse) and Sophie Wright (Al\u00e8 BTC Ljubljana).<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 5 with Pfeiffer Georgi, Sophie Wright & April Tacey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lap 5 Leading group with Alice Barnes & Anna Henderson<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The time gap would grow each time around and up the cobbled climb, and by the time the lead group reached the halfway point in the race (four laps remaining), the group of 12 had over a minute on the peloton behind.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Taking on fuel, Group 2 on lap 5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Various attacks would come and go, a notable one for four riders, however a solo effort by Leah Dixon (Team TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank) looked to do the most damage to the time split, but nothing would come of it.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Group 3 on lap 5 with Leah Dixon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
At the head of the race and with two laps to go, Pfeiffer Georgi produced the first attack out of the leading group on the climb through Lincoln, with only Henderson and Lowden being able to follow.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 6 with Jos Lowden & Alice Barnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Behind, it would be Anna Shackley chasing hard to pull back the leading three riders a few kilometres later, Barnes, Nelson, and Wright alongside her making it a group of seven. A brief counter-attack over the top immediately by reigning national champion Alice Barnes was then pulled back.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
No signs of the leading group. Here we see groups 2,3 & 4<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 6 for the leading riders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The group would become 12 once again towards the end of the penultimate lap, with the remaining five riders re-joining the leaders, and with one lap to go they would cross the line and hear the final lap bell altogether.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
On the cobbles for lap 7 and the Leah Dixon group<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The final lap saw attack after attack, firstly by Anna Christian at 10 kilometres to go, swiftly chased down by Jo Tindley and Pfieffer Georgi, the pair riding straight past her to launch their own attack.<\/p>\n
Another Drops-Le Col attack saw a last-minute dig by April Tacey at three kilometres to go, and she would ride all the way to the lower slopes of the final ascent of the Michaelgate climb on her own.<\/p>\n
However, Georgi flew past Tacey, attacking on the right-hand side of the climb \u2013 Josie Nelson fighting hard on the left aiming to match her speed.<\/p>\n
Only two bike lengths separated them as they turned left onto Wordsworth Street, the final rise with just 100 metres to go to the finish line, and Anna Henderson was just three bike lengths behind Nelson with Joss Lowden chasing down the Team Jumbo-Visma rider.<\/p>\n
Pfeiffer Georgi would ride out of sight to take the win in front of a rapturous Lincolnshire crowd, with Josie Nelson finishing second just three seconds behind. Lowden fought hard, pipping Henderson in the final 100 metres to taking bronze, seven seconds behind Georgi.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Champagne Celebrations for the U23 Women<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Georgi and Nelson both being under-23 also took the top two steps of that podium, Anna Shackley took home bronze, with the Team SD Worx rider fifth overall ahead of the valiant April Tacey in sixth.<\/p>\n
Georgi said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI honestly can\u2019t believe it. I was just crossing the line shaking my head. Just realising that I get to wear the [national champions] jersey for year, that was pretty special.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been feeling tired the past couple of weeks, so to feel good today and take the win, it was actually really surprising.<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew positioning would be key every lap, but I didn\u2019t expect it to be only 12 [riders] by the first lap. I thought it would maybe be halved, but I didn\u2019t think our breakaway would go all the way to finish.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s the nature of this race, with it being so narrow, cobbled \u2013 and yeah it\u2019s always a fight for positions, so you have to be there every lap, and yeah \u2013 stay sharp.\u201d<\/p>\n

First decent into Burton on slippy wet roads for Cav<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Elite and under-23 men\u2019s race<\/pre>\n
A total of 129 riders started the men\u2019s race in Lincoln, amongst them three previous winners in Mark Cavendish MBE, Connor Swift and Ben Swift.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 1 with Cav near the front on the first pass of Burton Village<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The earliest attack came on the first ascent of the Michaelgate climb, a solo effort from Lewis Askey (GROUPAMA \u2013 FDJ), who was only 12 when Cavendish won the race in 2013.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 2 and the Peloton are together through Burton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The attack would come to nothing, however the counterattack past Askey by Dan Bigham (Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling), and Sam Watson (Team Inspired) would spark the first big move of the day.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Lap 3 for the chasing Peloton<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A lap later a further four riders would join them: Harry Tanfield (Team Qhubeka Nexthash), Jake Stewart (GROUPAMA \u2013 FDJ), Dan McClay (Team Arkea-Samsic) and Ben Swift (Team Ineos Grenadiers), creating a 15-second gap as they started their sixth lap out of 13.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Tanfield, Swift, Stewart & McClay bridging across<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
On the seventh lap Ethan Hayter (Team Ineos Grenadiers) rode up the climb with ease and away from everyone else in the peloton, crossing the gap and up to the lead group in no time at all, making it a group of seven.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Chasing Peloton re-forming behind<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Behind him Fred Wright (Bahrain-Victorious), Lewis Askey (GROUPAMA \u2013 FDJ) and Connor Swift (Team Arkea-Samsic) also fought hard, joining on the back of the leaders where the numbers would swell to ten. And then ten became 12 as James Shaw (Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling) and Sean Flynn (SEG Racing Academy) closed a 35-second gap to join them and one minute five seconds to the peloton.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Rain still dropping on the Peloton mid-race<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
At the same time up front, Harry Tanfield attacked out the front of the leading group, however he we would be swiftly brought back by Ethan Hayter who was looking mightily strong after taking home two national championship titles this week already in the time-trial and the circuit race.<\/p>\n
It would be at the start of lap nine that an attack came from Dan McClay, hurriedly followed by Fred Wright, Ben Swift and Harry Tanfield, and the four riders sparked trouble behind as the remaining riders were left looking at each other, wondering who was going to chase.<\/p>\n
A couple of laps of back and forth in the war of attrition that is the national championships, with two laps to go only Ethan Hayter, Lewis Askey, Connor Swift and Sam Watson remained with one new member to the chasing group, Alex Richardson (Alpecin-Fenix), who jumped across to the chasing group on lap 10.<\/p>\n
The penultimate time up the Michaelgate climb saw fireworks when Fred Wright decided to show his hand, powering over the cobbles as his competitors fought for the smooth gutter section at the side of the road.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Swift, McClay & Tanfield on Michaelgate Cobbles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Only Swift and Tanfield could follow, Dan McClay suffering for his earlier effort. In the group behind Ethan Hayter barely looked out of breath as he took Lewis Askey over the top of the climb with him, the duo in pursuit of the three riders ahead.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Fred Wright 2nd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Ben Swift went first, Fred Wright chasing his wheel as Tanfield dropped away behind them hugging the gutter for smooth road. The duo pressed on ahead in a thrilling final sprint up the climb, shoulder to shoulder into the penultimate corner and left-hand turn to the 100 metres to go sign.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Ethan Hayter 3rd<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Wright was holding his wheel all the way around the final corner and onto the tarmac before his head slumped, absolutely spent, allowing Swift to ride away to victory.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Harry Tanfield 4th<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Behind Hayter had flown past Tanfield on the climb in the final metres to steal third, seven seconds behind his teammate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a bit of a difficult year. I knew coming into this race my form was good, but I\u2019ve had to do it the hard way \u2013 I spent most of the day off the front just going from group to group, but yeah I\u2019m made up really!<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was incredible \u2013 it\u2019s been so long since we\u2019ve had really big crowds in British racing, so it was so good to see. Michaelgate\u2019s hard, but those crowds it made it a little bit easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jo Tindley secured a stunning solo victory at the HSBC UK | National Circuit Championships in her home city of Lincoln tonight, while Ethan Hayter claimed his second title in as many days following yesterday\u2019s victory in the time-trial.<\/p>\n
Updated daily throughout the competition<\/pre>\n
Tindley (Pro-Noctis – Redchilli Bikes – Heidi Kjeldsen) led from the start and looked assured throughout, with her lead never falling below 20 seconds, while the chasing bunch behind were unable to effectively work together to claw back the deficit.<\/p>\n
Having previously worked behind the bar in the pub overlooking the finish line, the hometown rider knew every twist and turn of the technical circuit, and crossed the line arms aloft 1:12 ahead of Abi Smith (Team TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank) in second, while Corinne Side secured a second podium place for Lincoln-based team Pro-Noctis – Redchilli Bikes – Heidi Kjeldsen. Despite a collision after the finish line both riders dusted themselves off to collect their first senior national medals on the road.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the race, Tindley said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019re going to do it, you want to do it in front of a home crowd, don\u2019t you? There was quite a lot of drive that kept me going, but it\u2019s not sunk in just yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are some really good sprinters in the group, and having done some other races this year I knew I couldn\u2019t just handle them, so for me it was either whittling it down and making one big move, or as it happened really early it just lined out and there\u2019s not a lot of rest on this circuit, so I knew I could potentially get away. When the gap happened quite early I had to commit to it, I had no other option.<\/p>\n
\u201cI used to work at the pub just here so I know the finish line very well from looking out of the window at it. You always dream it \u2013 it\u2019s pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Picture by Simon Wilkinson\/SWpix.com – 15\/10\/2021 – HSBC UK British Cycling Championship, Road. Circuit Race, Men – Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England – Ethan Hayter of Team INEOS Grenadiers on the podium after winning the National Circuit Championships with Harry Tanfield of Team Qhubeka Nexthash in second and Lewis Askey of Team Equipe Cycliste Continentale Groupama FDJ in third<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
In a frenetically-paced men\u2019s race a leading bunch of Hayter (Team Ineos Grenadiers), Harry Tanfield (Team Qhubeka Nexthash), Lewis Askey (Equipe Cycliste Continentale Groupama-FDJ), Charlie Tanfield (Canyon DHB Sungod) and Charles Page (Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling) quickly whittled down the field as riders were lapped and removed from the race.<\/p>\n
There was nothing to split the quintet as the bell rang for the final lap and it was Askey who attacked first, but the 20-year-old was unable to get away. As the sprint opened up, Harry Tanfield looked to be the early favourite, but Hayter delivered when it mattered most once more to add another red, white and blue jersey to his collection.<\/p>\n
With all eyes now on the prospect of an unprecedented treble on Sunday, Hayter said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI managed to get myself straight to the front and I pretty much stayed out of trouble. I knew all these guys were super strong, both Tanfields are strong crit riders, and Lewis and Charles as well. I just tried to not do too much and stay close to the bunch so that the guys would keep working and not attack themselves.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the buoyant Lincoln crowd, Hayter added:<\/p>\n
\u201cI was loving it to be honest. There were a lot of people shouting my name which was quite strange. It was lined the whole way around, and it\u2019s almost like a go-kart track going around some of the corners, so it\u2019s just really enjoyable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there\u2019s a bit of pressure on [Sunday] now. It\u2019s not going to be easy but we\u2019ll see what we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ethan and Leo Hayter took both the elite and under-23 titles to make it a family affair on the opening day of the HSBC UK | National Road Championships in Lincolnshire, while dominant displays saw Anna Henderson and Anna Shackley also crowned national champions.<\/p>\n
Taking place in the picturesque village of Tealby, Lincolnshire, the riders were treated to a challenging course and over 500ft of climbing in each lap, as the county welcomed back the national championships for the first time since 2015.<\/p>\n

Individual Time Trial, ITT Elite Men – Tealby, Lincolnshire, England – Ethan Hayter of Team Ineos Grenadiers winning the Elite Men’s National Time Trial Championships with Daniel Bingham of Team Ribble Weldtite in second and James Shaw of Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling in third<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
After an eighth-place finish at last month\u2019s UCI Road World Championships in Flanders, Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) was always going to be the rider to beat in Tealby, and he measured his ride perfectly to take the victory by over 36 seconds.<\/p>\n
Hayter led throughout but was pushed hard by the Ribble Weldtite duo of James Shaw and British Hour Record holder Dan Bigham, while Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) finished 17 seconds off the podium in fourth place. Reigning champion Alex Dowsett (Israel Start-Up Nation) was sadly forced to abandon the race.<\/p>\n
Hayter had arrived in Tealby early to celebrate Leo\u2019s victory, and even had one eye on his little brother\u2019s time while out on the course.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I was kind of the favourite coming into this but I don\u2019t think Leo really was, so that was a really nice way to start the day to come down and see him. It\u2019s a big shame my family couldn\u2019t be here because my Dad\u2019s actually got Covid \u2013 he\u2019s all right, he\u2019s just stuck at home, but I\u2019m sure they\u2019ll celebrate!<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what time my brother did and as I came around here with a lap to go I checked and was just about up on him, so I thought I must be going all right!\u201d<\/p>\n
Hayter now switches his focus to tomorrow\u2019s HSBC UK | National Circuit Championships race, followed by the road race on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll try my best and if it doesn\u2019t happen, it doesn\u2019t happen. I just kind of saw it [the circuit race] and thought I\u2019ll enter it for a bit of fun almost as much as anything. I\u2019ll just do what I can \u2013 I try to win every race.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bigham joining Shaw on the podium capped off an excellent day for British UCI Continental outfit Ribble Weldtite, and the duo were full of praise for the support they have received. Bigham said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had such good support. The partners and the staff and the commitment they\u2019ve put in, that\u2019s why the guys are time-trialling well and racing well, I don\u2019t think we really want for much as a team. Obviously it always helps having a bigger budget and more staff, but on the equipment front I think we\u2019re in a really good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Picture by Alex Whitehead\/SWpix.com – British Cycling – 14\/10\/2021 – HSBC UK | National Road Championships – Time Trial – Tealby, Lincolnshire, England – Anna Henderson of Team Jumbo Visma in action.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Amongst a high-quality field Anna Henderson (Team Jumbo-Visma) shone brightest to take the victory with a 56-second margin, having won the under-23 title at this event back in 2019.<\/p>\n
Just over 30 seconds separated the top six riders at the half-way point, with Henderson enjoying a slender 15 second advantage over Joss Lowden (Drops-Le Col Supported by Tempur).<\/p>\n
Leah Dixon (Team TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank) performed brilliantly to set a time of 44:02.80 and occupied the hot seat until Henderson stopped the clock at 43:04.21, before Lowden\u2019s 44:00.39 soon had her looking nervously over her shoulder with three riders to come. However neither Alice Barnes, Hannah Barnes or Hayley Simmonds could better Dixon\u2019s result to secure a first national championships podium for the Welsh rider.<\/p>\n
Speaking afterwards, Henderson was blown away to have prevailed in such a strong elite women\u2019s field at the first attempt.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s more shock than anything. I saw the calibre of the British girls at the Women\u2019s Tour last week and they were on fire, so I\u2019m really proud and happy to come away with the win. I made a good plan with my team and they came over from the Netherlands, so I\u2019m really appreciative of them coming over to give me that extra dimension of support.\u201d<\/p>\n
After an anxious wait in the hot seat, Dixon was thrilled to take home a deserved medal from her first national championships time-trial. She said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI absolutely loved being in that position! It was a much better ride than I was even expecting so to be even sat in that position at all I was ecstatic. As time was dwindling on and there was more and more of an opportunity of getting a medal that\u2019s when I was getting a bit nervous.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe, Joss and Anna are great friends, and me and Joss were joking that our first national series podium was at Klondike GP a couple of years ago and it was in exactly the same order then as it is today! To ride with friends and have them supporting you is just a really nice atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Individual Time Trial, ITT U23 Men – Tealby, Lincolnshire, England – Leo Hayter on the podium winning the U23 National Time Trial Champonships with Ben Turner of Trinity Road Racing coming in second and Oscar Onley of Team DSM finishing third<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Under-23 men<\/pre>\n
Leo Hayter (Development Team DSM) took the under-23 men\u2019s crown \u2013 and his first national champions\u2019 jersey \u2013 by a dominant margin of over 50 seconds, stopping the clock at 38:04.485.<\/p>\n
A solo winner at Li\u00e8ge-Bastogne-Li\u00e8ge U23 last month, Hayter entered the race in fine form and led throughout, with Ben Turner (Trinity Road Racing) second with 38:57.195 and Oscar Onley (Development Team DSM) rounding off the podium with 39:37.776.<\/p>\n
The trio faced a nervous wait as the final riders crossed the line, however the final rider Lewis Askey (GROUPAMA \u2013 FDJ) finished just under six seconds slower than Onley, taking fourth place with 39:43.060.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the race, Hayter said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve actually never been a national champion before. I\u2019ve podiumed five or six times but never won, so it feels really good to finally wear the jersey. It was really interesting \u2013 for a time-trial course I was really impressed with it, it had a bit of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Individual Time Trial, ITT U23 Women – Tealby, Lincolnshire, England – Anna Shackley of Team SD Worx on the podium winning the U23 women’s National Time Trial Championships with Pfeiffer Georgi of Team DSM in second and Abi Smith Team TIBCO Silicon Valley Bank in third<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Under-23 women<\/pre>\n
It was a similarly dominant display in the under-23 women\u2019s category, as Anna Shackley (Team SD Worx) powered to victory by an incredible margin of more than a minute and 34 seconds, finishing in 43:55.84. Well suited to the challenging course, victory capped off a stellar first year as a pro rider for Shackley, following her role supporting Lizzie Deignan at the Tokyo Olympic Games.<\/p>\n
Following an impressive eighth place finish at the AJ Bell Women\u2019s Tour Pfeiffer Georgi (Team DSM) took second place on the day, finishing with a time of 45:30.37, while Team TIBCO-Silicon Valley Bank\u2019s Abi Smith took third place with 46:25.24.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on a landmark 2021, Shackley said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt feels really good. I wasn\u2019t expecting that, I\u2019m not usually the best at time-trials but I think I\u2019m starting to enjoy them when they go well! I think that hill in the middle of the lap definitely helped me a lot, but it was a hard course and quite technical with the wind.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a cherry on top of the cake for this season. It\u2019s been really good, I\u2019ve really enjoyed this year and hopefully next year I can improve as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
