Report - Day 3 Day 3 of the World Road Champs was always going to be a tough day for Great Britain, with all the riders facing tough categories and the racing was going to be fast and furious. Russ White produced the ride of the day, almost pulling off victory in the super fast Men's LC1 category road race in a break, but ultimately missing out. We have a full round up of the day's action.

Report - Day 1 - There were no medals for GB on day 1 of the championships, but gutsy performances from Rob Wickham, Rachel Morris, Simon Richardson and Russ White meant that there was much to be satified about back at the Team's hotel. We have a full report of the day's time trials from Barney Storey, plus results and images.
