Mikel Landa (Team Sky) has officially taken over as president of the Euskadi Cycling Foundation from its longstanding director Miguel Madariaga, who began the project 25 years ago with the aim, then and now, of educating young Basque riders about their sport.
Cycling Australia has named its team for the Bergen World Championships later this month with Michael Matthews headlining the nine-man squad. BMC's Rohan Dennis has been selected but will only ride the time trial.
Vuelta a España leader Chris Froome (Sky) said he would struggle to make it to the start line if he genuinely believed that one of his rivals was using a hidden motor. But if they were, then they wouldn't get away with it for long.
He crossed the finish line first and even took the plaudits on the podium, but Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data) eventually ended up without the stage win Monday at the Tour of Britain.
Can Froome use the Individual Time Trial to seal the win?
