Halford took the spoils in round 14 to make it 13 wins from the 13 races he has entered.

The riders had to contend with a strong westerly wind and rain but that didn’t stop Halford stopping the watch on 22 minutes six seconds.

Rich Smith came home second in 23:43, five seconds ahead of newly-signed Rob Jackson.

That was enough for Smith to win Series silver, having scoring consistently throughout the competition.

There was a strong ride from Paramount CRT’s Sean Evans, who took victory in the non-aero category in a fantastic time of 24:01, 1:40 ahead of Ian Watts, who was making a rare appearance in a time trial.

But there was a surprise for newly-crowned non-aero champion Ian Bond as he lost out by a second to Richard Howes.
