Toby Barnes earned his first time trial win at the Leicestershire Road Club 27.1-mile road bike time trial on Monday morning, with Sarah Dye finishing as fastest female.

Riding in his third time trial, Loughborough Students CC rider Barnes set a time of 1:03-40 to take a convincing victory ahead of Josh Brown (Kettering CC) and Casper Reynard (Rule 28 x ATP Performance) who finished level on 1:05-50 as joint runners-up in a dramatic finale.

Barnes rode his first time trial in April 2021, finishing fourth at the 25-mile Cambridge University CC time trial, before a fifth place at the Leicestershire Road Club 27.2-mile time trial in May 2021 – the same course on which he would collect his maiden success on Friday.

In the women’s event, Sarah Dye (Velo Bavarian) was the leading female in 1:31-18, while Esme Warren-Westgate (Coalville Wheelers) set 1:31-55 to take second place, with a time of 1:33-08 helping her clubmate Andrea Winkless to the final spot on the podium.

Quickest junior went to Benjamin Freeman (Melton Olympic CC) in 1:16.6.

This event, run on the AH/1 course, is a looped circuit that starts just south of Twyford, and heads southbound on the B6047 before turning northwest before heading sharply southbound past Hungarton until reaching Keyham and undergoing a ten-mile eastward stretch through Tilton on the hill all the way to Braunston in Rutland then northwest to Little Dalby, curving past Little Dalby and downwards to complete the looped circuit.
