British National Road Championships 2026: Star-Studded Lineup in Wales
The British National Road Championships are set to take place in Wales from June 25 to 28, 2026, featuring a diverse lineup of competitors, including WorldTour stars, domestic British racers, and amateurs. The event will crown 10 national champions across elite and under-23 categories, starting with time trials in Lampeter on June 25, followed by circuit races and road races in Aberystwyth. Returning champions such as Millie Couzens, Sam Watson, Zoe Bäckstedt, Ethan Hayter, Kate Richardson, and Cameron Mason are expected to defend their titles. The men's field includes notable pro riders like Ben Turner, Fred Wright, and Bob Donaldson, though Josh Tarling may miss the time trial due to injury. The women's roster is equally competitive, with riders like Anna Henderson, Pfeiffer Georgi, and Cat Ferguson among the entrants. Domestic scene standouts like Morven Yeoman and Noémie Thomson from DAS-Hutchinson, and Rapha CC's Matthew Bostock and Ollie Wood, are also participating. The 2026 event is part of a three-year agreement to hold the championships in Wales, which will also host a stage of the UK Tour de France Grand Départ in 2027.
