My instant thought (as a cycling fan over the last twenty years) is, has everybody been doping during lockdown.. seems to be a noticeable bump in performances when you might expect a dip in competitive race ‘sharpness’

Potentially it is that everyone is peaking at that same time in a condensed season. But I am sure there is a doping element too

Very possibly. But another argument I've heard is that maybe racing lesseans that athletes are able to perform better when they do. I'd really hope that Laura Weightman isn't doping and that her run was the result of a substantial training block and a good race.
Did my first BGR recce this morning - two Nav errors one in the mist and the other taking slightly the wrong route off Blencathra. Will definitely need to do it again before the big day. Decent morning out with some good views until the cloud base at 650m.

Good luck to him.
Monaco last night was pretty ludicrous.
