New rules, no problem, says road bike TT champ who promises he’ll keep pushing the envelope

UK road bike time trial champion George Fox has warned that his next competition road bike is likely to look even more outlandish than the one that caused so much controversy at last year’s National Road Bike Time Trial Championship.

In a post on social media he sent out the cheeky and slightly cryptic caution over the top of an image of his Argon 18 E119 championship-winning machine: “You thought this one was bad… see you very soon”.

“One of the biggest things that we’ve seen most people unhappy about, I think it’s fair to say, is the frame, and the fact it’s the tri[athlon] frame,” he said. “Certainly from a performance and aerodynamics point of view, it makes very little difference. I tested it, and I know how small those differences are, but obviously visually there’s a lot of people unhappy about it. So a ban on TT or tri frames is one of the things I’m almost certain will pass.”

“The rules, which we will know after this weekend, will have to change my approach, because I won’t be able to do the same thing again,” he concedes. “Which will mean that if they thought last year’s bike and set-up looked different to what they’re anticipating, I will still want to go quicker this year. I’m a bike racer. I have the record – it may be an unofficial record but I still have it.
