Many have fought for a long time and gone through many challenges to make the gains that have seen women’s sport evolve into its rightful place in the social conscience; a place where the exploits of our daughters are as respected as those of our sons. We are not there yet, but the position and changes currently occurring are visible by the month and unimaginable from the time of my youth, when sporting bodies such as British Cycling could write off my entreaties that they should actually hold B

Primoz Roglic’s first Giro d’Italia victory Sunday has eased the bad memories of his painful collapse at the Tour de France three years ago, even if ‘the big one’ is still missing from his long list of honours. Jumbo Visma rider Roglic, 33, added this year’s Giro to a trio of victories in the Vuelta a Espana and the manner of his win was redemption for the late 2020 Tour collapse.

Mark Cavendish paid tribute to Geraint Thomas on Sunday after his fellow Briton and great friend helped the sprint king win the last ever Giro d’Italia stage of his storied career.”I couldn’t have ended my racing career in Italy in any better way than winning at the Giro d’Italia in Rome,” said a visibly emotional Cavendish.

In a golden evening’s glow here in the Eternal City, Mark Cavendish proved that he, too, remained somehow imperishable. Less than a week after tearfully announcing his retirement from professional cycling, and amid whispers that his ferocity as a sprinter was on the wane, this granite-willed 38-year-old conjured one of his most staggering tricks yet, surging clear to win the final stage of his final Giro d’Italia with a gloriously unexpected flourish. It was as if, in the shadow of the Colosseum

Even in extremis, Geraint Thomas summoned an endearingly bleak sense of humour. He had just lost the maglia rosa, and with it his vision of winning a first Giro d’Italia at the age of 37, after a time-trial up Monte Lussari that was not so much punishing as downright sadistic.

Primoz Roglic of the Jumbo-Visma team won an uphill battle to virtually assure himself a Giro d’Italia title and earn some redemption for a meltdown in similar circumstances three years ago.The 37-year-old Thomas has never been dominant in the mountains and despite digging into deep reserves his efforts would only earn  second place.

Geraint Thomas maintained his bid to become the oldest Giro d’Italia champion although his lead was cut slightly by Primož Roglič during the toughest stage of the race.

Emily Bridges’ evisceration of British Cycling, accusing the governing body of “furthering a genocide” by denying those born male the right to ride competitively against women, is a classic of its oeuvre. It deploys the transgender lobby’s well-worn tactic of warping women’s legitimate grievances over fairness into some dastardly plot to erase trans people from society. This is, and always was, a ludicrous overreach, engaging with none of the reasons why so many female athletes are outraged and

Riders who were born male will be prevented from racing in British Cycling’s elite female events under a new transgender and non-binary participation policy published by the governing body on Friday. New rules for competitive events, due to be implemented this year, will see racing split into “open” and “female” categories, with transgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals and those whose sex was assigned male at birth eligible to compete in the open category. The female category will remain for those whose sex was assigned female at birth and for transgender men who are yet to begin hormone therapy.
