New 100 mile cycling record for Epifani

Gianni Epifani completed his second and last 100 mile time trial on Saturday, breaking the Manx record for the distance in the process.

Gianni managed to crack the four hour barrier, coming home in a time of 3.54.38, which if ratified is a new Isle of Man record.

The course on the A50 between Uttoxeter and Stoke on Trent was flat with favourable conditions.

There were 122 starters, with Gianni coming home in 22nd position, over a quarter of the field failed to finish.

The event was won by Julian Jenkinson in a rapid 3.37.
