2024 National Road Championships men’s road race: provisional startlist

Luke Rowe will be competing in his final national road race of a storied career in Saltburn at the 2024 National Road Championships, and will be joined by two-time national champion Ben Swift, 2018 national champion Connor Swift, 2019 under-23 champion Ethan Hayter, Leo Hayter, Ben Turner and Josh Tarling. 

There will still be a stacked line-up to go for the title, including last year’s podium winners James Knox and Stephen Williams, and 2023 national champion Fred Wright also currently features on the start list. Williams has had a sensational year, having been crowned the first male British winner of La Fleche Wallonne in April, and also won the Santos Tour Down Under in January, and will certainly be one of the main contenders at this year’s national championships.  

Back-to-back winner of the under-23 race, Sam Watson, will be joined by Groupama-FDJ teammates Lewis Askey and Matt Walls, EF Education – EasyPost riders Owain Doull, James Shaw and Lukas Nerurkar, and Team VISMA LEASE A BIKE’s Ben Tullet and Thomas Gloag. There will be a total of 13 riders on the start list from British UCI Continental team Saint Piran, including Will Roberts, Ollie Wood, Rhys Britton, James McKay and Alex Richardson, who was third behind Mark Cavendish and Watson in 2022.
