As they (commentators) said, Wout looking good for the World Champs.

Looking at the high lights again just now, Wout is really in excellent form, unless something unforeseen happen in the last 2 stages, I cant see anyone beating him.

Stage 7 action: hot, hot, hot

Aerosuit with pink aero sokkies with pony tail in the break on the new Ribble aero fiets. ⚡

This course to Edinburgh is brutal. ????

10 kms to go, 3 mins gap to the chasing pack and the break begins to devour itself. Small attack covered, back together again. Matt Gibson in WorldTour company and having the race of his life. Beautiful racing!

Last stage today, can Wout finish it off with a stage and overall win?

The team in yellow will have to fight off a very competent Ineos team on home ground, coming off a luckless Vuelta.

Wout!!! 4 stage wins, GC winner. Passed The Gorilla in the final 25 metres. Remarkable.

Earns max points, no points for the Ineos leader.

Remember that the other cyclocrosser in Mathieu won the 2019 version, the last edition of the Tour Of Britain.

Meanwhile, at Euro Champs...

Remco blows up the breakaway on the penultimate lap with a wattage grenade (or a handgrenade in each hand). Finalé on now. Beautiful racing.

Evenepoel not grabbing the race by the collar on the final climb. Such a powerful outing for the Belgian talent yet lacking the race craft? 

Italy - Belgium - France

Then again… Sonny’s been climbing like a mountain goat lately. Credit to the new Euro champion

At the moment look like there is nothing he cant do.  I'm getting a bigger fan by the day.
