Ineos unleash the British Ganna; the very latest on Jumbo and their rumoured Saudi sponsor; Giro Donne saved at the last; what next for Froome?

While Ineos teenager Josh Tarling was expected to be among the medallists in the British TT championship, his victory by more than a minute over his rivals did cause a stir. We speak to his former coach Stuart Blunt about the 19-year-old Welshman, who Blunt describes as a "British Filippo Ganna".We've got a Jumbo-Visma double, starting with the latest from team manager Richard Plugge on the Dutch team's search for a new lead sponsor. Plugge refuses to confirm press rumours of discussions with Saudi enterprise Neom City, but says there's been global interest in backing the team that features Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert and Primož Roglič and that he's confident a deal will soon be concluded.Underlining their long-term commitment to the sport, Jumbo-Visma have also been busy in the transfer market. We reveal the latest on their rumoured deal with Ineos GC prospect Ben Tulett, and we speak to their head of development Robert de Groot about their newly announced signing of three British 17 year olds to their development team, as squad that's designed to keep them competitive but at relatively low cost. The Giro Donne is on! After months of uncertainty and discord between the race's owner and its organiser, a compromise has been reached over the running of the second women's Grand Tour of the season. We examine the reasons for the dispute that left the Italian race looking into the abyss. Every year there's a major Tour non-selection story and this year's has featured four-time champion Chris Froome, who has been passed over by his Israel-PremierTech team. We look at what was behind that decision and at what's next for Froome, whose immediate racing future is decidedly uncertain.
