National Championships 2026

[RedheadDane]

I think it's time we get this started.

New Zealand just had their ITT Championships.

Fisher-Black is the new ME Champion.
Wyllie is the new WE Champion.
You can find information about the other age groups elsewhere.

South Africa is also having their ITT Championships later today.


(And, no! I am not making an overview like I did a few years back! It got really stressful during the big National Championship Week...)

Why didn't you make this thread for the Australian National Championship.

If that bothers you, why didn't you?

Well, people were just talking about that in the Hot Thread.

Tradition...all things Australian should be in the hot thread.

Well, all things Australian cycling!
Not the Australian Open.
Definitely not Koalas.

Anyway, De Bod and Moolman-Pasio are the new South African Elite ITT Champions.

Martinez hasn´t continue BORA's winning streak and he hasn´t won the national time trial championship. Brandon Rivera (INEOS) is the new Colombian ITT champion.

It's an incomplete thread of history in 2026 if you do not include the results of the Australian National Championships. Over to you!

You're free to make a post reminding people of who won the various titles.
You can even include the Crit titles, if you so desire.

How has versatile bits and pieces hilly/sprinter Brandon Riviera ridden 56km/h over 44k on a flat course and beaten them by 2 minutes? Low air resistance at that altitude? DFM and Vargas are proper tters and he's delivered the smackdown.

Maybe he's about to start winning GT's. Road race is on Sunday anyway which is one of the best races of the season.

Maybe they had heard the news from Valencia and thought their ITT had been neutralised as well?

I saw the results earlier and thought huh, contract year for Rivera, so he's putting in more effort to prove he is more than just bernal's mate.

But that's an absolutely absurd performance. Putting over 3 minutes to his boy Egan who is defending champion.

The championships are in Rivera's home town this year though, so looks like a case of those 'i know very well this descent' watts, the kind that gave us that mythical 2nd for fausto in bergamo.

Okay, that is WTF moment of the year so far. Him winning isn't the main surprise, he's a decent TT-er, but that winning margin and that average speed!

I don't see why you don't just insert the results here yourself. Different members will be posting the results of NCs as they are completed for the next 5 months, RD doesn't do all the updating.
