This passed me by at the time so it's a bit late sorry. Great result for British juniors at the Junior Roubaix race. Hopefully this will keep up and we'll have some British contenders at the classics in 10 years time :)

    Yes, certainly some real talent coming out of the UK at the moment both male and female.

    Emma and Laura Trott are showing signs of real promise. Emma (20 or 21 I think) just beat Marianne Vos in a stage race TT in Czech Republic the other week...........but was unfortunately one of the 5 girls hit be a car in Belgium last Friday and is currently nursing a broken collarbone.
    Meanwhile, Laura (18 ) won a Junior Women's stage race in Belgium a couple of weeks ago. A fair step up from regularly beating me (and 40 other 3rd/4th cat men) at Welwyn Track a couple of summers back.

    Following his 2nd place in the Junior Paris-Roubaix, Dan McLay is now the new British Junior Champ.
