2014 British National Track Championships

{{Short description|British track cycling competition}} {{Infobox cycling championship | image = | venue = [[Manchester]], England | date = 24–28 September 2014 | velodrome = [[Manchester Velodrome]] | nations = | cyclists = | events = | previous = [[2013 British National Track Championships|2013]] | next = [[2015 British National Track Championships|2015]] }} The '''2014 [[British National Track Championships]]''' are a series of [[track cycling]] competitions held from 24–28 September 2014, at the [[Manchester Velodrome]]. They were organised and sanctioned by [[British Cycling]], and were open to British cyclists.

==Competition== Separate competitions were held for both men and women, and 6 events were also included for [[para-cycling|paracyclists]], an increase on 4 in [[2013 British National Track Championships|2013]]. No events were held in Omnium or Madison; the men's and women's programme was broadly identical, and otherwise matched the programme of the [[UCI Track Cycling World Championships|UCI World Track Cycling Championships]]. The women's team pursuit was held over 4000m for four cyclists for the second year.

Open to [[Great Britain|British]] cyclists, the winners of each event are entitled to wear the national champion's jersey - a white jersey with a red, white and blue front stripe - for the next year when competing in that discipline.

The sprint events were dominated by [[Callum Skinner]] and [[Jessica Varnish]] picking up four gold each, and a clean sweep of sprint events; Skinner shared team sprint gold with Olympic champions [[Jason Kenny]] and [[Philip Hindes]], while Varnish secured team sprint gold with [[Dannielle Khan]]. All women's individual sprint medals were shared among Varnish, Khan, [[Victoria Williamson]] and [[Katy Marchant]]. [[Matthew Crampton]] took silvers in each of the individual sprint events.

The endurance events produced more unpredictable racing with Paralympian [[Sarah Storey|Dame Sarah Story]] securing points race gold, and [[Katie Archibald]] beating World, Olympic and Commonwealth champions [[Joanna Rowsell Shand|Joanna Rowsell]] and [[Laura Kenny|Laura Trott]] in the individual pursuit.

Almost forty years after [[Maurice Burton (cyclist)|Maurice Burton]], Britain's first black national champion on the track won the last of his senior national titles, his son [[Germain Burton|Germain]] won his first, in the team pursuit.

[[Rachel James]], sister of absent former World Champion [[Becky James]] achieved a unique double, medalling in both able bodied and paralympic events; she achieved a bronze in the team sprint, and piloted double Commonwealth Games champion [[Sophie Thornhill]] to two National titles for blind or visually impaired cyclists, in Kilo and 200m flying lap time trials.
