Four wildcard teams have been invited to the Tour de France. Netapp-Endura, Cofidis, Bretagne-Seche Environement and IAM Cycling will all be at the start in Yorkshire.

Women will have their own race at the 2014 Tour de France. 'La Course' will take place on the Champs Elysees on the final day of the Tour. We spoke to Chrissie Wellington of Le Tour Entier and Rochelle Gilmore of Wiggle-Honda about what this development means for womens cycling.

The Cyclo-cross Worlds took place in Hoogerheide in the Netherlands. Zdenek Stybar spoiled the Belgian party and took the win in one of the few cross races that he has ridden this year. Marianne Vos took the womens race after the expected battle with Katie Compton didn't materialise. Wout van Aert was dominant in the Under 23 race, while Belgium took 1-2-3 in the Junior race.

Chris Horner and Samuel Sanchez have jobs! Horner will be rocking the purple and pink of Lampre Merida in the Giro and Vuelta, while Sanchez has gone to Team BMC.

Matt Stephens will be in Dubai for the inaugural Tour of Dubai, tweet us (@gcntweet) or Matt (@realstephens) with your questions for the riders.

As usual, we've got news from the GCN Strava club, competition winners, Tweet of the Week and Tech of the Week.
