Healy gets it & the last climb is tough enough for an exchange of opinions.....

Got the full entrylist for the European U-23s from Bergen next weekend. Some big names involved. https://www.european-athletics.com/home/news/final-entries-published-for-bergen-2025-european-athletics-u23-championships

Going to have our first breakaway win - Ben Healey the early contender with 30km to go. Looks like he has it, pursuers not making an impact. MvdP will be back into yellow again as he is the best rider in the break.

Funny thing is that there seems to be a different Italian national team, this time consisting of Asian ex-pats and playing in the European T10 competitions,

There's another announcement on the home page that they are raising prize money for the Winter Races, so whether one is to do with the other..... Attendance at the Summer Worlds had always been very patchy, none of the big west European nations ever sent a proper team, although sometimes individuals went. Slavic & Baltic nations generally were the backbone. Again, maybe there has been some agreement on that. Stadium events are good for the profile of the sport, but only a small number of established names can take part. There were lots of cases where athletes got their first win at the Summers and then went on to get more later that year.
