Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) won the British road race national title on Sunday with an all-out attack in the closing kilometres ahead of two breakaway companions. James Knox (Soudal-QuickStep) secured second place falling short of the catch by nine seconds. Stephen Williams (Israel-Premier Tech) finished third, another 10 seconds back at Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
The three riders got away from a breakaway of six on the eighth of 10 laps. Then Williams got out of the saddle for an attack with under 4km to race, but Wright then made his pass immediately dropping the duo.
