35-year-old British road bike 10-mile time trial record finally tumbles

George Fox road bike

George Fox was hoping he might break Colin Sturgess's British road bike '10' time trial record this season, but he didn't predict he'd take it at the first time of trying. Riding his superfast Argon 18 he'd christened the 'bad idea bike', Fox took seven seconds off Sturgess's 18.48, set in 1988 on a standard steel-tubed road bike.

The record ride took place on the F11/10 course near Tring, Hertfordshire, on 7 May.
