Meanwhile, Luke Hattersley was sanguine about his eighth place in the Junior National 10 mile time trial, which was staged on a course in Norfolk on Saturday. Finishing in a time of 21.54, he said afterwards, “It wasn’t my finest performance, but there’s no point in crying about it, it’s better to concentrate on my next goal.”
