I didn't know the Yatesi were riding. I'm not so sure about the other two on climbing though (never really seen them try)Richmond Racer 2 wrote:RichN95 wrote:I'm not sure how exciting the British Men's race will be.

That would be one way to be able to tell the difference between them. Get one in the nat champ jersey!0 -
The smashing comes quite early though. There hasn't been a climb that significant that early since Abergavenny in the pre-Sky days. Then a track rider and a fat African rode away from everyone - although they did later get caught, maybe they had trouble working together.Richmond Racer 2 wrote:It'll follow the usual pattern of the WT riders smashing the field early to reduce it bigly.Twitter: @RichN950 -
OK, it's in Italian, but all the course profiles for just about every nation's champs can be found here.
That's the ITT courses and road race routes for both men and women.

Italy seems to be the race to watch. The Swiss course is tough. Spain couldn't have made theirs more Valverde friendly if they asked him to design it himselfTwitter: @RichN950 -

Got to love Cummings. he looks as glum as ever in cycling News but apparently was in tears at the end. Hope this means he's ready for a great Tour.0

He's not sure of his place on the Dimension Data team yet. Apparently he needs to show some form tomorrow.0 -
