It's now been confirmed by The CTT that TT specialist Marcin Bialoblocki has broken the UK national 100 mile time trial record, taking over three minutes off Adam Duggleby’s previous record set in 2017 to lay down a blistering new mark of 3:13:37.

Bialoblocki, who is Polish but now settled in Britain and riding for the Nopinz Symec team, broke the record at the East District CA Championship in Norfolk yesterday, aboard a Pinarello Bolide with disc brakes and Aerocoach AEOX wheels, wearing a skinsuit and aero socks from NoPinz. Data shared by Bialoblocki from his TrainingPeaks account shown a average normalised power of 340 watts for the duration of the ride, or 4.29 watts per kilo. He has also taken to Strava to share his little morning jaunt.

Bialocki told CTT: “I’m very happy – it’s been a goal of mine for a while so it’s good to finally get it. ”

On his Facebook page Bialoblocki said: "I dedicate this record to my friend Phil Griffiths thanks which all that was possible (sic), I had the opportunity to compete for many years and the pleasure of using the best bikes in the world. Phil was 100 mile National Competition record holder in 76’ -79".
