Overview

He's always a threat in hilly races that don't have Pogacar, Del Toro or Vingegaard in them. Sort of an Andy Murray of cycling. Seriously, good for him. Was a bit undercooked in the Ruta del Sol a few weeks back, although he got a stage, but this is obviously getting in form at the right time for the spring majors.

Victory for Tom Pidcock in the Milano-Torino today. His first victory in a one day race for a couple of years

Caveating the Edinburgh International Meet results - although I am posting the OQT, the only meet that will matter will be the Olympic Trials in April 2028. I'm putting the OQT so that we can see how close (or far) some of our swimmers are from hitting the qualifying time in various scenarios - for example, I'd be surprised if many of the squad had tapered going into this week's meet.

Really nice, clear post (so handy to have the LA times right here). Thanks!

BRONZE! for Niall Treacy at the short track World championships in the 1000m First World short track medal for GB since Elise Christie won triple Gold in 2017. Treacy also finished 5th in the 1500 yesterday.

Bronze for Charlotte Bankes in the Montafon Snowboard Cross, so she is still in with a decent chance of another Crystal Globe at the final in Canada in a fortnight.

Great result for Freddy but so disappointing for his brother. Luca led the first heat and was 2 seconds(!) clear half way through his second run before his DNF. Should've been a double podium for the Carrick Smiths.

Entries for the Edinburgh swim meet can be found here: https://swimswam.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/draft-programme-for-web.pdf Peaty's first Long Course races since the Paris Olympics! All other GB stars are present too (apart from those competing in the NCAA). Some of them (Morgan, Dean, Colbert etc.) are coming straight from 3 weeks of altitude training in Arizona so it'll be interesting to see where they're at. I think most will then compete at the Giant Open in France next weekend.
