Tejvan Pettinger of Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team, continued his good run of form to win the Redmon CC 25 mile time trial in a new personal best of 49.11. With good weather conditions helping times, Tejvan posted a second consecutive 30mph + ride, averaging 30.5mph over the lumpy Bentley course in Hampshire.

Tejvan said of the race.
"It was a very good day for time trials, with low air pressure and low wind, but it was still a little bit of a surprise to set a new personal best because this is not the quickest course. My previous best time on this course was 50.49 in 2011, so it is quite a big improvement. I have been training quite hard for long distances, but it seems to help these shorter races too. Setting a personal best is always a big goal in time trials, and my 25 pb was set five years ago."
