PRESIDENT I hope Malcolm and Lyn’s annual barbie
WILLIAM WRIGHT went well and you got to see the racing.
Good that there was also a Women's
61a Burns House race picking up some of the action too.
Kennington Sadly I missed it as I've been away for a
SE17 3SX few days in France and didn’t get to
020 7735 9605 watch the last two stages of Le Tour but I understand
the result was as predicted. To think that 7 or 8 years
CHAIRMAN ago Brian Cookson (then BC President, now UCI
ROY SAVERY President) thought people would think he was sticking his
01959 777455 neck out by predicting a British TdF winner within 10 years.

SECRETARY Now we’ve had four wins, and this year British riders wore
JEREMY WHITE green, white and yellow jerseys all on the same day!

TREASURER The landscape has changed though. It seems the Sky
VAL PEACHEY Team was SO strong, and the sprinters teams so well
63 Beverley Road organised, that the whole approach to racing has
changed. There was ALWAYS a breakaway up the road,
Barming and it ALWAYS got caught 10-20km before the end to
Maidstone give the sprinters time to get organised. Unless it was a
Kent ME16 9DU mountain stage, in which case the Sky team had two or
01622 727649 three lieutenants pacing the Yellow Jersey group and at
the same time making sure there was a break staying
MEMBERSHIP away to take the pressure off Froome.
DAVID HAGGART When I started in cycling I always felt there was a
388 Elmers End Road wonderful heroism in these Grands Tours, with the
monumental mountain stages, the superhuman
Beckenham accelerations and personal battles going up Alps in the
