2009 Road Season Review

It was quite a road season both domestically and in Europe. The Tour de France was one major highlight with Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins combining to give us the best ever Tour from a British perspective. And back home, the season was packed with highlights including a very fine race for the men's National Road Race title in Abergavenny. Everyone will have their highlights and here on this page, you will find links to the best of the reports we had on BritishCycling.org.uk.

This is Abergavenny turning out in their thousands to witness the 10th British RR championship victory by a rider wearing the rainbow stripes, Nicole Cooke. One of many highlights from a great season in 2009.

You can also add your own highlights using the Comments option at the bottom of the page.
