On today’s live blog: Charity sportive cancelled as “mark of respect” Norwich bike rackgate: Council cites potential damage to floral tributes Plus: WorldTour relegation woes, Beaumont to take on NC500, tenuous royal-related trivia + more cycling
Now, Beaumont is looking to regain his title on what the Edinburgh-based rider describes as “my favourite endurance route in the UK”.“I’m not going into it thinking I can just crack that and get the record back. I want to do things where it’s hard enough for the outcome to be unknown.“I like things which are just out of reach and you’ve really got to put everything on the table in terms of performance and logistics to be able to do it.
“I’ve always loved the broadcasting element. It’s equally as important as the record breaking because you can leverage that personal ambition to inspire people to explore Scotland, get out on their bikes and push for their own dreams. Introduced by the UCI in 2018, the new system will take into account the accumulated end-of-season points rankings during the past three years when issuing WorldTour licences for 2023. A WorldTour licence guarantees teams invites to the most prestigious top-tier races, including – of course – the Tour de France, which in turn guarantees the most exposure for sponsors and equipment suppliers.
The looming threat of relegation has prompted various squads, including Movistar, to ban their riders from travelling to the upcoming world road race championships in Australia, where the prospect of jetlag could scupper the team’s hopes of picking up points during the closing stages of the season.
“Relegation is death. It doesn’t matter which of the two teams end up being relegated. It’s an existential problem. “I am claiming ‘force majeure'. I know why we are struggling for points this year, it’s because of the pandemic. We’ve lived through strange times. I loathe litigation. Nobody wins in litigation, only lawyers win. If they put me in this situation of causing terrible damage, I will explore all of my options.
