Carmarthenshire’s Scott Davies won his fourth consecutive Under-23 National Time Trial title on the Isle of Man, becoming the first rider to do so.
In his Team Wiggins colours, the Welshman put in a sterling performance on the Manx course stopping the clock at 28:20.33. He topped the table an impressive 49.66 seconds of silver medallist Thomas Baylis, One Pro Cycling to earn the national jersey.
Scott Davies said: “I’m really happy to win the Under 23 title for a fourth time. It’s a great feeling to be National Champion for another year. Hopefully I’ll be able to wear the stripes a few more times this season.
I wanted to give it my all, and if that turned out to be enough for the win, then brilliant!”
