UCI Road World Championships Sept. 19-27 **spoilers**

As ever with these types of stories, UHC is probably getting more coverage as a result of her not riding a sponsored bike than if she had...!

I guess Wilier might be a bit miffed, though. From the wording of the Cycling News article, it looks like they don't do smaller TT bikes of pro team quality.

''Sponsor correct'' - there's a horrible phrase, definitely not punter correct, at least in my eyes.

She's had such a low-profile season that I hadn't been aware that she was even riding for UnitedHealthcare this season!

Tough day for Owain Doull in the U23s. From today's racing, it looks like the course may be more interesting than advertised...

 

[Buddfox]

And for completeness, to note that Chloe Dygert won the women's junior road race today, having won the time trial earlier in the week. Not a bad effort.

Men's U23 road race won by Kevin Ledanois of France. Obviously the next big thing.

Looks like RAI sport 2 or France Ô for coverage of the women's race today? BBC red button is off faffing around with balls and brum brums.

Should come on the red button at 1750 once the football is finished.

Edit: Race starts at 1800 BST

The Women's RR is hotting up!

BBC website is useless. Three "the listings have moved, so see this page" and still not right. EPG once I got home was right so I'm enjoying it now. Thanks.

Lizzie looks like she's missed the move. A good minute behind the leader.

Correction - the peloton's on its way!

And Lizzie's back on the front. But without support.

So she's attacked. Didn't work.

And she took it on the line! British World Road Race Champion! Well done, excellent riding, Lizzie.

Wow!

Get in! !!

What a race - the last 30 km was proper nailbiting stuff.

Highlights 2pm tomorrow BBC2 for those who missed it in favor of some blokes trading kicks.

That was a great race, and well done to Armitstead.

England to win by half a bike's length....
