Andrew Hall clinched victory at the Protech Velo 9-mile time trial on 21 July 2025, recording 19:59 in wet conditions for GTR Return to Life p/b Streamline. Ellen Powell topped the women's event with 23:59 for Durham Triathlon Club in this North East time trial.
Hall earned his first win of the season, edging Daniel Kane (Muckle CC) by three seconds after a runner-up at the Emergency Services 10-mile Championship last month. Jack Rees (Optimal Endurance Coaching) took third.
Hall said: “My coach Danny Grieves said we should focus on this race as he thought I had a good chance of achieving success in it. After doing a recce this morning, the sensations were good and the race all fell into place nicely for my first victory for GTR. Speaking to Shaun Tyson before the start, I mentioned it was almost 10 years since I last rode the course. Danny Grieves and Carl Donaldson went head-to-head that day, and with three cycling legends in my mind at the start line, I was ready for anything!”
Brian Ward (Protech Velo) was the fastest road bike rider in 21:10, seventh overall.
Powell fought off Kerry Gowland (Protech Velo) by 19 seconds, with Joanne Hilton (Team VC) third. Vicki Spong (OUTLANDS) was the first female road bike finisher in 26:09.
