Tom Pidcock's Specialized S-Works Crux – and more tech from the 2020 British National Cylocross Championships
Pidcock takes second successive men's title, while Hattie Harnden wins women's race on elite debut
Tom Pidcock, who won the men's title, runs a Specialized S-Works Crux. He took gold aboard a hot pink and yellow painted version of the bike but the set up across the two is identical.
The 2020 British Cyclocross Championships took place this past weekend, with Hattie Harnden fending off the challenge of Beth Crumpton to take the women's elite title, while pre-race favourite – and reigning under-23 world champion – Tom Pidcock took gold in the men's event.
Sunday's race in Shrewsbury presented classic 'cross conditions, with deep mud challenging even the best riders in the country.
