UCI Road World Championships Sept. 19-27 **spoilers**

I'm sure the beeb would but a Brit won't win, so it won't. Still, the UK's got one of the 4 four women's world tour events and the RideLondon one. UK women's cycling is healthier than the BBC.

When Belgians and Kenyans win its on the news........

Stybar has announced to the world on Cycling News that he's planning a surprise attempt and flying under the radar...

The Czech Republic rider says the urban, technical course with punchy climbs suits him and he plans on surprising everyone on Sunday.

That should work then!

Connor Dunne kicked off the breakaway like a hero. Trying to build on his Tour of Britain reputation?

Very odd tactics of the Netherlands sitting on the front of the peloton all day. Germany and Poland and Belgium happy to sit just behind. Are they trying to do a Project Rainbow but for who?

I'm surprised Stybar hasn't surprised us yet.

Rochelle and Chris are having a good old technical natter. Simon has been left free to contemplate the leak in the ceiling. I get the feeling that Rochelle is using the time to glean bits of information.

I'm finding Chris's talk rather interesting as a non performance orientated pootler.

I love the notion of weighing peas on bathroom scales. He deserveds a knighthood for that alone

Kit comparison: Spain's kit is grim, they know the 90s are done, right?
Belgiums is classy, I assume it's been the same since they first needed a national jersey.
Why don't the men's national teams have sponsors, like the women's did?

It's the best thing to come out of Belgium ever.

You don't often see a Diamondback at the sharp end of a race of this calibre, do you?
