After 100 miles of chaotic racing, the 2026 Beaumont Trophy was decided by the smallest of margins, when Tim Shoreman of Wheelbase-CabTech-Castelli edged out Ollie Wood (Rapha Cycling Club) to win by a tyre width in a thrilling sprint finish.
Early on in the four-lap, rain-strafed race, a 10-man breakaway group established what seemed to be an unbridgeable gap of 3 minutes and 40 seconds. A group of eight riders gave chase, Wheelbase-CabTech-Castelli’s Tom Martin among them, with the team’s National Road Series leader, Tom Armstrong, caught back in the peloton.
