The one we’ve all been waiting for. #PreviewTime

Elite Men’s Road Race: Leeds > Harrogate (285km)

Yorkshire, a land that favours the brave and the bold. Today it was AVV who took the race by the scruff of the neck, who’s going to do it tomorrow?

#Yorkshire2019🌈🇬🇧

THREAD👇 Image I think it would be fair to say that the Yorkshire Worlds have so far been a resounding success! Yes, we’ve had some biblical rain, and yes, there have been a fair few dodgy decisions, but overall there’s been edge-of-your-seat action in each and every event!

Welcome to the business end of this year’s race. #PreviewTime.

Stage 18: Colmenar Viejo > Becerril (178km)

From crosswind chaos to high mountain madness, the GC riders are straight back into the firing line tomorrow.

But who'll be pulling the trigger?

#LaVuelta19

THREAD👇 Who’d have thought today’s stage, with no categorised climbs in sight, would turn into one of the most crucial stages of this year’s race! Perhaps that’s what made it so entertaining, that and the wild Movistar tactics 😉

I’m back baby. And what a stage to make my return! A short, spicy spectacular around Andorra.

Stage 9: Andorra la Vella > Cortals d'Encamp (94.4km)

What's that? The Queen Stage already? Wow, you really are spoiling us this year Javier...

#LaVuelta19
#PreviewTime

THREAD👇🇪🇸 This is an absolute beast of a stage, with five leg-breaking climbs and almost zero flat kilometres in sight.

Make no mistake people, this is the Queen Stage of this year's race! The Vuelta won't be won here, but I bet you a handful will lose it tomorrow.

The third and final Grand Tour of the year is here, and you know what that means?

#PreviewTime is back!

Time for me to fill your Twitter feeds for the next three weeks with all of my #LaVuelta19 ramblings.

Let's get stuck in...

👇👇👇 I have a real soft spot for the Vuelta, as I'm sure you all do too.

Yes it might be the youngest of the Grand Tours, and yes it may - by some - be considered the least prestigious of the lot.

But for me it's always the one that, without exception, produces...

A last minute route change may have thrown a spanner in the works, but it isn't going to stop tonight's #PreviewTime!

Stage 20: Albertville > Val Thorens (59km)

This is it. The big one. The last chance saloon. Who's going to win the GC shootout?

#TDF2019🇫🇷

PREVIEW THREAD👇 Well, today's stage was, erm, how do we put it - unpredictable?

From Pinot abandoning the race at the start of the day, to Mother Nature calling an abrupt halt at the end, we really did have it all!

Definitely one for the history books.

Grab your crampons guys, we're going climbing again 🧗‍♂️
#PreviewTime

Stage 19: Saint-Jean-De-Maurienne > Tignes (126.5km)

A short stage, but no less barbaric than today's brute of a route. Again, this is all about survival. Who's going to make it?

#TDF2019🇫🇷

PREVIEW THREAD 👇 What an absolute belter of a stage today, right? Admittedly it was a bit of a slow burner, but boy was it fun to watch it explode on those final slopes of the Galibier.

THIS. IS. IT. The moment we've all been waiting for #PreviewTime

Stage 18: Embrun > Valloire (208km)

We've finally made it to the Alps and beginning of the end of this year's epic race. Time to don the oxygen masks, tomorrow we're heading above the clouds!

#TDF2019🇫🇷

THREAD👇 We're now at the business end of this year's race and within the mountains we've all been waiting for since the moment the route was first announced!

The GC is tighter than ever, 2:14 separating the first 6 on GC, and just 36 seconds between 2nd to 6th! Mental 😱

Missed me? Let's get right back to it. #PreviewTime

Stage 16: Nîmes > Nîmes (177km)

Probably the last chance for the sprinters before we get to Paris. But are they going to get it all their own way? Or can the break spring a surprise...

#TDF2019🇫🇷

PREVIEW THREAD 👇👇 If this stage was anywhere else on the race it would be a guaranteed sprint day.

But it's not.

It comes a day after the final rest day and just before we head to the Alps for the gruelling, grand finale of this year's race.
