Cycling throws up the memorable, the iconic images and moments which live with you in your memory well beyond the moment which you perceived them. I won’t claim this is in any way a definitive list, merely the moments that will stick with me beyond the here and now. The above picture is of Nairo Quintana winning the Queen Stage of Tireno-Adriatico, which came close to making the Top 5.
The Women’s NRS wraps up this weekend with the Goldfields Tour and it should prove to be an eventful affair, with varied racing and still plenty up for grabs in the NRS overall classifications. Lucy Bechtel of Bicycle Superstore chatted before the race about the course and how she sees the race unfolding. It has been a good season for Bechtel, she took a win in the Tour of King Valley, and two second positions in the National Capital Tour, but she doesn’t expect to be competitive in this event. “Personally, I wasn’t going to be doing this tour so it will one of gaining experience for me, and riding for my teammates. We’ll have to have a discussion about who’s feeling good and who wants to be looked after.”

CategoriesCome here for the previews of all the World Tour races this season, plus any Pro Continental/NRS/tricycle races that take my fancy. Along as it's pro cycling I'll have some sort of opinion on it. I'm Australian, so be prepared for a healthy Orica-Greenedge bias. Please feel free to request any changes or previews, and stay up to date on Twitter and Facebook.
