Julia Shaw
The UK’S top female time triallist, Bramshaw’s Julia Shaw, below, took her fifth consecutive national 25-mile title at Tattershall in Lincolnshire at the weekend.
The gold medal, her sixth for time trialling’s “Blue Riband” distance, comes only a fortnight after she took her seventh 10-mile title, in East Anglia.
Shaw clocked a quick 56min 18sec for yesterday’s 25-mile title race, beating Anna Turvey of Tyneside Vagabonds into the silver medal position by a full minute and 21 seconds.
Totton’s Stephen Whitewick (VeloRefined Aerosmiths) took 18th in the men’s 25 mile event with 53-55.
