Dan Bigham won a sixth national title as he beat Charlie Tanfield in the men’s individual pursuit at the British National Track Championships.

British hour record holder Bigham finished clear of Tanfield, with Kyle Gordon third over the 4km in Newport.

Bigham had earlier set a new national record in four minutes 05.25 seconds – going nearly four seconds quicker than John Archibald’s 2019 mark.

Olympic silver medallist Neah Evans won the women’s individual pursuit.

Evans, who was second in the team pursuit at Tokyo 2020, finished ahead of Anna Morris, with Kate Richardson finishing in third.
