THE HUB RIDING > NEW GEAR OPINION > BIKES

As Chris Froome seals his fourth Tour de France title, in The Spin we wonder how anybody ever wins it more than once; former modern pentathlete Heather Fell adds another sport to her armoury; and cycling melds with Shakespeare in The HandleBards troupe.

The 12th annual Brompton World Championships took place at RideLondon in July, with 550 riders competing over 16km on The Mall. Spaniard Unai Alvarez Mosquera, seen here already leading after the race’s Le Mans-style running start and unfold, took the male honours, with American Elsbeth Huyett first female. Cycling Plus was also there, some way behind both, so look out for our upcoming feature.
