The duo's task became all the more daunting when their start was delayed after they experienced a problem with the tiller extension on the 33ft yacht they have chartered for the 645-mile race from Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, to St David's Lighthouse, Bermuda.

Conor White pipped defending champion Kaden Hopkins in an exciting sprint finish to win his second National Road Race Championship title on Sunday. It was the exact scenario the professional cyclist had hoped for heading into the 60-mile race, with him and Hopkins both crossing the finish line at Clearwater Beach, St David's, in 2hr 32min 0.1sec. "All of us have been training a lot so I knew it was going be fairly matched," White told The Royal Gazette.

There was a changing of the cycling guard in the National Time-Trial Championships as Nicholas Narraway put an end to Kaden Hopkins's two-year title reign. The 23-year-old came out on top of a star-studded open men's division, which also featured fellow professional Conor White, to deny Hopkins a third straight title. The victory, which came by nearly a minute, was especially sweet for Narraway as it was the first senior national crown of his burgeoning career.
