Evie Richards DNF in the Short Track World Championships. Bit of a shame as she was up there in medal contention in laps 4-7. She dropped off the pace in lap 8 before withdrawing - hopefully a mechanical issue and not an injury. 

 

Isla Short was 15th. Charlie Aldridge was a DNS in the qualification of the men's event. 

 

In the men's under-23, Max Greensill was the last of the finishers (38th) whilst Ella Maclean-Howell was 7th in the women's under-23

Win for Zoe Backstedt in the ITT stage of the Simac Tour on Saturday.

she punctured when clear in 3rd place, but had been gapped by the top 2 on the penultimate lap

Aldridge DNS because off illness, apparently a bug in the camp

Bethany Shriever is World Champion once again. 

 

Still a bit disappointing that we only have the one rider in the Women's Elite class - hopefully that will change by the time the qualifying window for LA opens as we currently have 3 riders in the under-23. (Emily Hutt looked in good form in her opening heat and qualified for the Quarter final but was DNS. Betsy Bax went out in the Quarter final whilst Sienna Harvey exited in the Semi final.

 

On the men's side, Kye Whyte was our only rider in the Elite class but he couldn't progress beyond the Quarter final.

 

 

I note Emiy's brother, another MTB cyclist,  just got hammered with a SIX YEAR doping ban, which doesn't fill one with confidence.

Evie Richards misses out on a medal at the World Championships as she finishes 4th - 12 seconds off the bronze.

Another heroic defense today by Tom Pidcock on one of those insane Spanish climbs should seal his third place in the Vuelta tomorrow.

Charlie Aldridge a disappointing 21st in Olympic Cross Country at World Championships. From the lap splits, it doesn't look like he was ever really in the fight.
