Taking on the challenging course around the town of Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Pfeiffer Georgi used both her racing nous and strong legs to take a brilliant win and become British national champion.

A former winner of the national title in 2021 and having finished second last year, Georgi was determined to get back on that top step this afternoon. Using all of her experience and tactical racing nous, Georgi combined that with strong legs throughout the afternoon and made a decisive group that would go on to fight it out for the win. Despite attacks on the run in, it was all together at the bottom of the final climb where Georgi danced on the pedals – putting the power down. Not looking back until she was in sight of the line, Georgi could sit up and celebrate a brilliant win and her second national title.

An elated Georgi said: “It was a really hard course today, constantly up and down. It was really attritional. A group of about seven of us were away for the last few laps. I wasn’t so confident on the climbs originally so I tried with one lap to go on the climb, and I felt strong there which gave me the confidence. I thought of Lincoln; I did the same thing there were I tested the waters. I wanted to keep it all together on the last lap and take those corners first on the descent to the climb, then go full gas. I believed in it but I’m still in shock; it’s really nice to win the title again.”
