Hi there Geddan yes it is on 100%, this weather suites certain riders and brings a different aspect into our challenging sport. Wet and cold weather benefits certain Athletes, ask Gerald Ciolek, winner of Milan San Remo. In order for us to start competing seriously, it is in the legs and attitude, not the weather.

The weather forecast says it is going to clear from 11.30am.

Irrespective of the temperature the racing will be hot!

PPA summer league winner Oliver Stapleton-Cotton says he's ready to fight! Watch this rider today and on the 24th!

Todays finish!

It would be cool if there is a long-term vision for this Polka Crit.
