Ex-Pro cyclists Dan Lloyd and Matt Stephens are here with another chunk of everything that's happened in cycling from the past week.

We've got info on bike share schemes in China, World TTT champs in Bergen, Norway where Team Sunweb won the mens and ladies events!
Sarah Hammond won the Race to the Rock in Australia, very impressive as the second place rider still had 200km to go!

We wrap up the winners of one day races leading up to the World RR champs to show who's in form.

Not forgetting all your favourites including Wattage Bazooka, Hack/Bodge, Caption Competition and even Xtreme Corner!

Well done from all at GCN to the following competition winners:
Lightweight Wheels
Ernesto Camaro

ControlTech Handlebars
Kris Winnett
Markus Korbel
Matt Widhalm
