George Clark and Emily Robertson powered to victory at the Hemel Hempstead CC 25-mile time trial which took place near Launton in Oxfordshire on Sunday morning.

Robertson (NOPINZ) put in an excellent display of riding as she finished with a time of 57-57 to set a new women’s course record and achieve an eighth place overall finish.

This victory was her second of the month as she also topped the podium at the Bossard Wheelers CC 25 on the second of June.

In 2014 Robertson achieved a second place finish at the National 50-Mile Championship and a third place finish at the National 25-mile Championship.

George Clark (Catford CC) topped the overall standings and also picked up the best young rider award after an impressive run of 52-24.

This was the 21-year-old’s first victory on record with his previous best result being the third place finish at the High Wycombe CC 25 in 2016.

Peter Lawrence (High Wycombe CC) finished with a time of 53-05 to claim the second step on the podium and also finish as the best veteran overall.

Lawrence last achieved a podium finish at the Bossard Wheelers CC at the start of the month. He will be hoping to continue his good form over the coming weeks.

Adam Robertson (University of Bath CC) completed the top three after he finished his run with a time of 53-19.

Robertson adds this podium finish to the 15th place he achieved at the RTTC National Circuit Championships earlier this month.

The fastest tandem pairing was Richard May and David Shannon (Islington CC) who finished their run with a time of 59-55 respectively.
