Starting this as a place to add Nat Champs results and discussion from around the world as the TTs are starting already.

GB Women's Elite goes to Anna Henderson, 33" ahead of Claire Steels and 1'02" from Elinor Barker

Is this the first win for Visma-LAB's freaky helmet?

    Just a heads up regarding the weekend coverage of the Spanish, French, Italian and UK road races.

    Full coverage of all of the above, both mens and womens on the Discovery+/Eurosport streaming platforms.

    For those who only have access via tv, full coverage of the women’s races on Saturday.

    Hard to say with the men’s races on Sunday, but it looks like only about 30-40 minutes coverage for each, except the UK race which seems to have no coverage.

    Suspect the GB races will be on British Cycling's YouTube too

    Tarling takes the GB ITT, unsurprisingly. 1'13" ahead of Astana Dev's Max Walker and 1'24" ahead of Ethan Vernon

    Johan Price-Pejtersen takes the Danish TT ahead of Skjelmose, Asgreen and Bjerg.

    I think BJerg will be pretty disappointed there, especially as he's the DK TT choice (with Skjelmose) for the Olympics (on the road race team also, of course)

    Massive drama!

    Price-Pejtersen has been DQed - for riding on the bike path!

    It might sound ironic, but it's not part of the course and isn't allowed, and clearly gives him and advantage going into the roundabout. Fell sorry for him even if it was stupid

    Skjelmose - who was 2" slower - takes the title

    The Price part is slightly unusual but there are a few well known examples here, though it seems it's been established for a couple of hundred years from English immigrants (though sources here can be a bit hazy on whether there's a border West of Herefordshire...)

    Sophie Wright gets a good lead over the lead group and then gets a rear puncture. Neutral service sorts it out but she didn’t notice a dropped chain and has to watch as the group go back past her. She wasn’t happy!

    She looked to have it won before that with no-one chasing behind.

    Georgi takes it with a replay of last year with an attack from the base of the final climb.

    Looks like Irn Bru is heading to victory in Spain. 1:25 lead with around 16k to go and surprisingly the large amount of Movistar teammates in the group behind aren’t chasing him down.

    Tired looking riders at the finish in Spain. Aranburu takes it comfortably

    LOL.

    TV coverage of the French men’s race amounts to 6.8kms.

    Just turned the men’s race on and can’t work out what is happening. The camera just keeps cutting between groups but there’s no graphics of what group is what, time gaps or distance. How hard is it to add basic information to the TV coverage?

    Should be a good battle between Ineos and FDJ in the UK race. I think they have 4 and 3 respectively in the lead group that has 1:30 on the peloton with 3 laps left.

    It's an embarrassment isn't it.


    Just logged on here to see if anyone had any clue wth was going on.


    Finally seen a 78km to go graphic, and some actual gaps were posted briefly a few minutes ago.

    Of course all gone now, perhaps never to re-appear.

    Think I will abandon and watch the last 30km (if I can figure out when that is) tomorrow, though I'll pop back here to see whether it's vaguely worth it.

    What a shambles. No gap info. No distance info. Plenty of ‘low signal zones’ though.

    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    I think you're expecting too much from the British race coverage. It's probably been watched by about 100 people. It isn't even that bad. The commentators are doing a pretty good job.

    The "low signal zones" are because they are doing it over 4G, the alternative would be to have nothing at all because there's not the budget for a relay plane.
