Charly Wegelius and David Millar look to defend their titles.
RR
Norris, Oliphant and Barclay were the early break
They were caught. Gaywood, Cummings and Fleeman then got away but it was short lived
The real move came when Froome, Wegelius and Bellis attacked
Remarlably, Bellis and Wegelius gapped Froome and the former Kenyan dropped back to the peleton
Bellis would then leave Wegelius behind
Things looked good for Bellis, and a late move by Froome and Cummings wasnt going to stop that
Jonathan Bellis is the new national champion!
But what of the battle for 2nd. Wegelius is sure to be caught
Cavendish hits the front. Surely thats 2nd sewn up
But no! Dan Lloyd outsprints Cavendish! Wow!
Bellis is the British champ, Lloyd is the English Champ, Millar is the Scottish Champ and Matt Rowe is the Welsh Champ. Bellis is the Isle of Man champ of course, while Im not aware that any Northern Irish riders are in it

TT
Ed Clancy is the early pace setter
Rob Hayles couldnt beat him
And surprisingly, Bradley Wiggins couldnt beat either of them!
David Millar will win the time trial but only just!! Ed Clancy was 2 seconds away from a huge victory
