Chris Fennell clocked a personal best while his team-mate at the Independent Pedaler Emma Lewis was fastest female at the Realteam.co.uk 25-mile time trial near Rhigos in South Wales on Sunday.

Fennell covered the course in 44-58 to inflict a rare loss on second-placed Marcin Bialoblocki (NOPINZ), while Ioan Smallwood (Cardiff Ajax CC) was a couple of minutes further back in third place.

Meanwhile, Lewis clocked 50-38 to win the women’s prize by more than two minutes from Anna Turvey (Drag2Zero), while Michelle Arthurs-Brennan (1904 RT) was third.

A week before the National 25, this event served as a final chance to hone skills, and Bialoblocki’s loss will have many wondering what will happen next weekend.

Conditions in the valley were mainly cloudy with a headwind to the turn – although it didn’t seem to materialise into a tailwind on the shorter return leg.

Scott Davies (Team Dimension Data) was a non-finisher with a mechanical, while Kelly Murphy (Storey Racing) would’ve finished third but was disqualified for persistent riding in the centre of the dual carriageway.

Junior George Elliott (Innovation Racing) was fastest in the junior/women’s event with 49-24, a time which would’ve put him an impressive 11th overall in the elite men’s event.

This was Fennell’s second victory of the weekend following a win in the VTTA Kent 10 on Saturday, and sets him up well for the National Championships. Similarly, Lewis was victorious in Kent on Saturday.
