Sir Bradley Wiggins admitted that he did not take anything for granted as the Team Sky rider and former Tour De France winner romped to victory in the British National Time Trial.
"It was full commitment," said Wiggins who will not compete in Sunday's National Road Race in Monmouthshire. "Any time trial you go into as Olympic champion, especially at the British championships, you want to win it.
"This is probably the best British championships they've ever had in terms of the field and the way the event's been run.
"I think G was perhaps the rider I feared most today, especially on home soil and the form he's in. I didn't take anything for granted today."
