Cyclo-Cross National Championships 2024 – UK 🇬🇧 – Callendar Park, Falkirk, Great Britain
National governing bodies hold National Cyclo-cross Championships on an annual basis. The winner is crowned national cyclo-cross champion and wears the national cycling jersey for his/her nation in races in the same category as it was won in. This means, for example, that the winner of the Men’s Under-23 category cannot wear his national champion’s jersey in a Men’s Elite race. Most countries’ national championships are held on the second weekend in January, a fortnight before the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships.
Cameron Mason (777) rode away with his second consecutive British cyclocross national title on a sunny day in Falkirk on Saturday.
The 23-year-old didn’t get the best start, lagging in around eighth in the fast start loop but soon moved up as the group headed out into the circuit proper.
Corran Carrick-Anderson and Thomas Mein led the field through the opening lap as the peloton began to stretch, with Toby Barnes chasing in third as Mason began working his way forward after his slow start.
By the second lap, Mason had moved into second and was chasing Mein, who made his rival work for the title. Mason finally passed him on a short, steep berm and then began to open a small gap before the halfway point of the race. A single dab on a fast section put Mein on the wrong side of a gap he could not close.
As the Scot celebrated his second title in a row, Mein continued powering through for silver while Lewis Askey (Groupama-FDJ) had clawed his way through the field to claim the final podium spot.
