The event was held near Abergavenny, Wales. A strong westerly wind, made it a hard day for all riders on the two lap course. Tejvan is perhaps more suited to shorter hilly races, but set a good time for the difficult conditions. The time 1.49.43 was 8 seconds off a pb, and just quick enough to squeeze into the top 10.

 

The event was won by Matthew Bottrill (www drag2zero.com) who earlier in the week, finished 2nd to several pro riders in the British time trial championship. Julia Shaw won the womens event the previous day.
