Rebecca Johnson and Carl Donaldson were the fastest male and female riders as Worcestershire hosted round three of the Knight Composites Classic Time Trial Series on Sunday.

Fourth in round one at Easter, Donaldson improved to take victory in this event and boost his overall series ambitions.

And Johnson, the 27-year-old Fusion RT Veloperformance rider from near Ipswich, clocked 1-34-46 for the 37-mile course. That gave her the win by just 16 seconds from series leader Kelly Murphy (C2 Racing), while Lauren Creamer (Brotherton Cycles) was third, a further 1-28 back.

Elsewhere, Pat Wright (Paceline RT) rode to victory in the Southern Counties CU 25-mile time trial in what is believed to be a new course record, while Jacintha Hamilton-Love (Dulwich Paragon) was fastest woman.
