Who better than Performance Director Stephen Park to offer a view from inside the Great Britain Cycling Team’s wildly successful world championships in Glasgow? With a table-topping medal haul in both para and able-bodied events, ‘Sparky’ offers his observations on cycling’s first multi-discipline world championships and his ambitions for next year’s Olympic Games in Paris. 

Our preview of the Ryedale Grand Prix contains insights from defending champion Abi Smith, a professional cyclist with the UCI Women’s WorldTour squad, EF Education - Tibco - SVB. As defending champion, Abi’s athletic accomplishments alone would qualify her to comment, but Ryedale is also her home race.
