It took a “huge” PB and career-best power numbers for Charlie Tanfield to beat the world champion to the individual pursuit title at the British National Track Championships on Thursday evening.
The 29-year-old knocked 1.7 seconds off his personal best when he qualified top with a 4:02.822 inside the Manchester Velodrome. He then carried his form into the final, leading against the national record holder Josh Charlton for more than three quarters of the 4km event, and beating him by over four seconds.
