The road races will conclude this yearโs National Road Championships on Sunday 25 June on a course that has us licking our lips.
Geraint Thomas leads the favourites for this yearโs menโs road race in Saltburn, after a sensational second place at the Giro dโItalia. Thomas will be joined by a full squad of Ineos Grenadiers fighting for the national title, with two-time national champion Ben Swift, 2018 national champion Connor Swift, Ben Turner, Luke Rowe, and under-23 youngsters Ben Tulett, Leo Hayter, and Josh Tarling.
Thomas faces tough competition from Fred Wright, 2022 under-23 winner Sam Watson, who is backed up by Groupama-FDJ teammates Lewis Askey and Jake Stewart, and the EF Education riders, Simon Carr, Owain Doull and James Shaw. British UCI Continental team Saint Piran will field 13 riders, including Will Tidball, Rhys Britton, Josh Charlton, Jack Rootkin-Gray and Alex Richardson, who was third behind Mark Cavendish and Watson last year.
