Well, good morning from Saltburn up in the northeast of England. It is British National

Road Race Championship Day once again. I don't know what this podcast is going to be about,

apart from obviously the British

National Road Race Championships I've made that fairly obvious. As you can hear in the

background the Tanoi is in full swing the race the first race of the day the

women's elite road race is about to get underway and I've

got to figure out how to make a podcast out of the next 10 hours as well as do a television

program which is the reason why I'm up here.

Apart from the fact that it's absolutely brilliant.

So while I think about that, let's have a word from our sponsors.

Ned Astrais-Farr is proud to be supported by Bickmo Cycle Insurance protecting the world's

riders and the places we ride. Head to Bickmo.com and use the code NSF 24 on their quote

page to get 12 months of award-winning Bickmo insurance for the price of 11.

Terms apply. 91 riders in the women's peloton then I've just just called a glimpse of Lizzy Dygan, who's the only

rider from Liedel Trek, who wasn't actually expecting to be at this race because it wasn't clear

until a couple of days ago, overnight in fact, that she was definitely going to be in the race.

Five for Georgie's here, the defending champion, and so too is Anna Henderson, etc.

I think it'll be probably between those three primarily although there's a few other riders as well who

could be in the mix and yeah it's gonna get it's gonna get underway fairly

fairly soon.

Later on the men's race is going to happen, Pete Kenyix here,

and I'll hopefully be able to jump in the team car
