So both Seff and Le Pann out, thats 2 favourites not starting

He was born on the day I moved to university, which is 20 years ago on Thursday

Absolutely gutted. My two favourite juniors out. My third favourite (Noval) must surely be odds on now, Without the crash, he'd surely have been world champ last year.

Ryan Gal winning the U23 TT is a bit of a shock, to say the least. I'd not even considered him as a possible winner.

Didn't see it all but felt for Cameron Rogers who had a seemingly irreparable mechanical and was offered a standard road bike as a replacement necessitating an on-screen apology from TNT for the foul language, lol.

Although not showing on PCS yet I read that Gal has been offered a place with Alpecin Devo team for 2027.

Didn't get to see it (seems to only be on with a delay here) but Noval 1st, Smet 2nd and Malthe Risbjerg 3rd. Matlthe has been picked up by the Visma dev team for next year. Julius Løvstrup Birkedal (who's currently riding for the RedBull dev team, not sure if he's there next year?) 4th

Excellent TT from Aalia Clay to take the bronze, well deserved.
