BRITISH TIME TRIAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Although the Tour of Britain was finishing in London today I decided to head over to this years British Time Trial Championships in Hampshire, purely as a spectator I’m afraid. The course was a roughly 11 mile rolling, twisty circuit through the lanes and small stretch on a main road. The senior men rode 3 laps while everyone else rode 2. No one had it easy; the roads remained open throughout the event and were packed with Sunday traffic. They were brave riders indeed to be doing near 30mph on roads with traffic like today.Unfortunately British cycling’s Olympic hero Bradley Wiggins was unable to participate due to commitments on the continent with his Cofidis team (he is starting the Tour of Poland tomorrow). It’s always good to wander round events like these and check out all the kit people are using. There was lots of Zipp stuff of course, although no sight of any other Flash-Points. I am still keeping an eye out for any mention of the wheels here in the UK and on the web. Although I am yet to read an official test from the big magazines, I have seen more very positive comments from riders out on the forums. One reviewer did mention that the decals were not to their taste, but as already mentioned by other Fanatics and DevBlog-gers this is no longer an issue because the new white decals look great. Not that I mind riding around with the originals, I still think they look pretty good.Congratulations to Bri on the "Flash-Point" win.
