More British success in France

[Flying_Monkey]

Whilst all our attention has been focused on the TdF, Emma Pooley has just won the Tour de Bretagne Féminin, including two stage victories - she is rapidly becoming a really rather excellent rider...

Yes - taking her up to four wins for the season now. It is excellent that she's winning on both lumpy stages and time-trials, even though Bretagne didn't have an incredibly strong field. She's clearly in very good form for the Olympics. Given the hilly nature of the Beijing course this year I expect that rather than staying at Nicole Cooke's side she will be sent up the road a bit further out to force other riders to play their hand.

As far as other British riders go at the moment, Emma Silversides is down to start for Lotto at the Tour en Limousin on Thursday.

It's good to see her doing well and combining with Nicole in Beijing could make things interesting, we shall see!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
