Big news for @Mickie_Cricket - Movistar are set to unleash Marc Soler on the Tour of Britain.

Nice to see ToB filling the end of the season punishment tour for riders leaving your team that Tour of Beijing left open

The stage as a whole was enjoyable enough, but as soon as Bernie and Roglic went off the front, the stage was settled. There was zero chance anyone else but Roglic was going to win.

Did hope for a bit of a battle though!

So who will be the other three team leaders?

Ben Tullett to Ineos

Race against me and/or @leggy_blonde, make it to the World Tour.

Weren't you already in the vets when he was racing under 10s?

Yes. I've seen him race for years, but he whipped our arses at the HH NYD Madison Cross a few year's back (with my old partner who dumped me for Ben).

We are delighted to announce that we have teamed up with Ekopak Sustainable Water - the Belgian based company that recycles and revalues water - who'll be one of the Wolfpack's official shirt sponsors for the next three years

Arm chair psychologists what's your take on this handshake?

Lefevere doing a passable impression of Jeremy Clarkson alpha type there...Jeans, blazer, shirt open a button too many.

Wonder if his sheux game is on point.

He looks like the guy running the mechanics shop out of his garden shed at the end of my road with a prosthetic arm. Seems like a lovely guy but we’ve never spoken – the guy not lefevre.

recycles and revalues water

Sorry, what the fuck now?

exactly what I wanted to get at
