Chris Lawless (JLT Condor) and Eileen Roe (Lares-Waowdeals) took the 2016 British Cycling National Circuit Race Championship titles in Birmingham on Thursday evening.

Lawless has been enjoying a successful season so far, having claimed two individual victories in the Tour Series, the London Nocturne and three wins in the Elite Circuit Series.

The 20-year-old from Wigan headed up a clean sweep of the men's podium for his JLT Condor team, with Russell Downing claiming silver and Jon Mould bronze.

Defending women's champion Nicola Juniper (Ford Ecoboost) placed third behind Roe and Alice Barnes (Drops Cycling). Roe sprinted ahead of her rivals to take the victory.

Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
