The GCN Weekly News Show brings you all the action from the peloton. We've also got news from the political events around the election for UCI President, plus Tweet of the Week.

This week, we have reports from the Tour of Poland, Tour of Denmark, Ride London and the Tour of Elk Grove.

The Tour of Poland finished with a final day time trial, with Bradley Wiggins answering all the questions about his form. The race for the yellow jersey in Poland went down to the wire, with Pieter Weening taking it from Christophe Riblon on the final stage. Will Wiggins win the TT Worlds? Comment and let us know.

The Tour of Denmark saw the emergence of a new star in 20-year old Magnus Cort Neilsen.

At the Ride London Classic, the women put on a show in the Grand Prix on Saturday, with Olympic favourite Laura Trott taking victory in the Olympic legacy event. The next day, Arnaud Demare took a sprint victory on The Mall from Sacha Modolo.

Across the Atlantic, the Tour of Elk Grove saw international fields in both the womens and the mens races.

There was controversy in the UCI Presidential elections, as Malaysia and Morocco attempted to re-write the UCI Constitution to have Pat McQuaid nominated.

Finally, our tweet of the week comes from David Millar.
