For a minute and 23 seconds on Sunday afternoon, Anna Flynn had the finish line of the British National Cyclo-cross Championships to herself. Breathless at the end of a five-lap race, the Scottish champion survived an early attack by Zoe Roche (Santini Cycling) to ride the final two laps solo, aboard her Pearson On&On Race bike.
“I knew I was feeling good, but I didn't actually think I'd win,” Flynn confessed to Cycling Weekly, still in a state of disbelief, the week after. “It just went really well.”
