Tour of Britain

In 2K, there's a car parked in a shit position.

So these parts of key information, you know, we had one in Tour of Britain.

After a corner, it was slightly wet and there was a cattle grid.

I said it on radio tour.

But then also, like you'd mentioned, was Lauren Dixon that had some form.

But Josie Nelson, also ninth on GC at Tour of Britain.

She's not looking too bad either.

How do you rate the team's chances at Worlds?

I mean, for sure, when you work with your team DS, you know them very well and they know you very well.

But I think it depends on the nation.

For example, with GB, I raced Tour of Britain with the national team this year and I was working with Matt, the national coach.

And we're really lucky, actually, that now Lizzie Dynion's working with the Women's Road squad.

And his team agreed on this, UAE and the Belgian Federation initially agreed.

But then, of course, he came back and won the Tour of Britain.

And he was then criticised by Philippe Gilbert.

Philippe Gilbert said, I think in a podcast, he said he was completely detached from reality.

If it's for free, how is it commercial? Now, the difficulty with this is, Daniel, where people get things a little bit the wrong way around is, yeah, we are commercial.

We've done deals with RCS.

We just did a really good deal with Tour of Britain where their sponsor, Elixir, sponsored our system.

But we gave them...

I think Cadena, he's not bad.

If you look at 14th in Tour of Britain, and that was a hard race by UAE, 10th in Germany, he's like a decent, he's a solid rider.

He won two stages of Asturias.

The problem is he's like an aero guy.

So she will need to kind of freelance her way over the course.

Of course, in fantastic form, had a disappointing tour in the end, didn't she? But then won the Tour of Britain and showed that she is tailor-made for this kind of course because she can cope with those shorter, punchier climbs and she has such a fearsome body.

sprint so uh but of course she's been got to manage without teammates and um so she will have to look to and hope that other teams kind of work in her favor um contrast i mean contrast to longo borghini because i mentioned her and what a great time trial she had She also has a team that's fully behind her, doesn't she? And I think her Italian team have got three other UAE riders in there.

So the riders that are used to working for her, she's clearly in great form.

Yeah, or you see like Tadej's tour team.

It was like they go to the Tour of Britain and they're all winning stages and they're winning the GC.

It's like those are the guys who are just towing him around France for three weeks.

Yeah,
