Sam Foakes & Sam Anderson win the 2026 British Cycling Championships
The 2026 British Cycling Championships went down at the RAF Hanger 59, in Shrewsbury this past weekend.
Sam Foakes threw down a flawless first run to take the UK Champion title for the second year in a row, full of his signature turbine style, including multiple cliffhanger turbines to backwards cross handed no footed cliffhanger body twist to cliffhanger, and one of the best contest saves I’ve ever seen, stopping dead on a backwards hang 10 to half packer, and somehow riding out backwards.
Sam was followed by Lee Musselwhite who as always scored high on originality, but a few touches kept off the top spot, and Dan Margetts took the third place with a consistent run with a healthy mix of back and front wheel, with Yinka Thomas in fourth.
In the Womens class, Sam Anderson took the win, with last years Champion Kayley Ashworth in second, and Loren Spencer in third place.
Great to see everyone once again, next event up Battleground in Cleveland Ohio, USA!

Flatland BMX took over the square in front of Museum Helmond on Saturday as part of the Urban Matterz weekend. The F(L)ATBMX Battle brought eight invited riders together for a one-on-one knockout contest, with the riders battling their way through the bracket until only one remained.
The concept was simple: eight riders, head-to-head battles and no UCI points or pressure. Just BMX, creativity and a good time.
