European season starts tomorrow with the Women’s version of Challenge Mallorca - a series of separate one day races, not a Tour.

Brilliant moment in the Classic Varn-  Tobias Hallan Johannessen came over the top of the climb in the lead, started celebrating & freewheeling down to the line,  Lenny Martinez put in a sprint & got him!

Catching up again - Ruta del Sol was something less than a classic this year.  Will give ES coverage a miss.

 Josh Tarling seems to be continuing his good form in the individual time trial event, winning the first stage of the O Gran Camino.

 

I say "seems" because it doesn't really count for much! Due to high winds, it was a neutralised stage, the riders were on normal road bikes and some riders were just going through the motions. 

 

Still, I'm in a glass half full kind of mood whilst waiting for BMX racing to start so thought I'd post it anyhow.

Here’s a fun one for everyone.

Hadn't realised that the US Nationals were last weekend. Big names in action in Charleston, West Virginia, nice up & down the river valley course.  Main races on YT.  And there is no such thing as 5.5 miles.  That is 5 miles 4 furlongs, buddy.

Bit late, but this was an absurd stage last week
