Kieron Davies (Drag2zero.com) was crowned the Welsh 25-Mile Champion after storming to victory in the 2016 title race staged on the superfast R25/3h course near Rhigos on Sunday.

The 29-year-old clocked 47.32 to take the win by 28 seconds from Andy Jackson (SSLL Racing Team), while Dan Evans (Team Elite) completed the podium in third spot.

Jackson also made up one third of the winning team alongside Jonathon Wears and Jon Surtees.

After a fairly still start to the event, but conditions worsened with overcast drizzle turning into light rain and the wind did the riders no favours either.

The fastest woman was Eileen Burns (Ballymena RC) who clocked 54.17 to break the all-Ireland record by almost one minute, while Stephanie Post (Onit Cycles) took second and Chris Melia (Born to Bike) was third.

The juniors was w3on by Jack Williams (Energy Cycles) with 55.43, while team-mate Huw Owen was second and Josh Griffiths (VC St Raphael) third.

The overflow event was won by Liam Walsh (VC Equipe) with 52.30, while Charles Rhys (Gillingham and Dist Wheelers) was second and Simon Ker of Bath CC third.
