British Road Bike 10 Mile TT Record Broken

Wednesday, 10th May 2023

George Fox of George Fox Cycling Solutions broke the 35 year old road bike record by 7 seconds at the recent VTTA London & Home Counties 10 TT F11/10 course near Tring, Hertfordshire.


George is a professional aero bike coach and fitter so he knows his way around a fast bike and streamlined kit, and he’s been working with Impsport in wind tunnel and real-life testing of the latest T3 range of racesuits and overshoes.

 

About the record, held by Colin Sturgess on a steel-tube road bike since 1988, George said on Instagram ‘So many people to thank for the support and for making this “really bad idea” a reality’. Speaking to Cycling Weekly George was hoping he might break Colin Sturgess's British road bike '10' time trial record this season, but he didn't predict he'd take it at the first time of trying. ‘The people that I knew, I could look at those people and say, right, you've done a good time, or you've done a bad time, and that made it a bit easier,’ Fox said. ‘One guy did a really good ride and a quick time and PB so I knew at that point, I should be OK.’


Cycling Time Trials have recently introduced a standardised road bike category to TT’s to try and rejuvenate the discipline after participation started to drop. Looks like it’s working.
